Re: sb600c storage blade and external server
The SB40c storage blade can only physically connect to an adjacent Server blade - so how can it provide shared storage to the rest of the blades?
And if you are thinking of iSCSI/NAS sharing ....why cant an external server connect to it as well?

Re: sb600c storage blade and external server
Otherwise you are quite correct about the SB40c.

Re: sb600c storage blade and external server
The SB600c is a BL460c running Windows Storage Server 2003 with iSCSI and NAS support connected to a SB40c storage blade. Its just a DL380 storage server in two hot swop parts!
The shared storage blade has not yet been announced.
As the SB40c can only connect to one adjacent Server (which we all agree) the only possible way it can provide storage to the other blades in the enclosure is via iSCSI & NAS. No other blades in the enclosure can access the storage via any other method.
And thus - what is stopping an external exchange server use iSCSI or NAS to access the storage on the SB600c the same way as other blades in the enclosure do? Imagine the enclosure configured with pass-thru modules - the other blades would go via an external switch same as an external server!!!
The original answer should be:
No - unless you want to use the storage via NAS or iSCSI access.
And if you want to do iSCSI you probably need two licenses of this:
