HP Storeageworks D2700 AJ941A
We ordered a HP Storeageworks D2700-AJ941A and I have a few questions:
1) Our SAN has 12TB. We have four DL 380 HP Servers where we want to allocate 3TB per server. WHat do I need to get this done? Is there any manuals that discuss carving the space?
2) Do I need a controller to manage the space on the four servers or can I use the SAS connection to connect the SAN to each server?
3) What part number would I need for the controller on the Server?

Re: HP Storeageworks D2700 AJ941A
The D2700 is just a disk enclosure with SAS connectors, made for connecting a single server in single or dual domain. Configuration will be done via ACU from the server. The chassis can only be "shared" by using SAS switches in a blade environment. It is not a "SAN" at all.
Sounds like you need a P2000 array ...
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: HP Storeageworks D2700 AJ941A
Ok. So if I have 4 servers, is there a way for me to connect the D2700 to all 4 or is the answer no. It only connects to ONE server?

No, you cannot connect the same D2700 to four different servers and present one LUN to each.

Re: HP Storeageworks D2700 AJ941A
The problem is the four servers are ESX hosts, so I do not think using a file server to present storage will work. Let me know if I am wrong.

Re: HP Storeageworks D2700 AJ941A
HP's X1000 storage servers can have the D2700 behind it.
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13341_div/13341_div.html
ESX is even mentioned in the quickspecs.
Remember that your bottleneck will most likely be the network between the DL380 and the storage server.
