P4800 and support for additional SAS Switches + MDS600 for DAS Storage ?

Friedrich had a storage controller question:

 

***********************

 

In a P4800 configuration, do we support additional SAS Switches + MDS600 for a VDI DAS Storage ?

 

Customer want to add non-persistent VDI VMs DAS Storage to the existing P4800/C7000 System.

Do we support 4 SAS Switches within a C7000 ?

 

2 SAS Switches for P4800 (includes MDS600)

2 SAS Switches for DAS Storage MDS600

 

*******************

 

from Alex:

Yes you can have 2 sets of SAS switches on a C7000. You just need to ensure the RAID cards in the VM hosts are in the correct mezzanine slots to map to the 2nd SAS switch.
