Reasearching the possibility of using the Ultra3 SCSI interface to connect to two seperte hosts, hasnt answered my questions as I believe this is an unusual and non standard situation, and there isnt anything in the docco that mentions it is possible.
Thanks for any help.

Re: MSA1000 with no HBA/fiber to hosts - is this possible?
I am not sure what are you trying to accomplish.
The MSA1000 as such supports only FC connectivity (direct or via SAN switch). I believe you could 'downgrade' it by replacing the controller, effectively changing it into the MSA500 G2 box. Then you would have also clustering capability via SCSI interfaces.
But does it make sense? I believe not. In my opinion it's better to add just an HBA.
If you are after a simple SCSI-attached enclosure then the only option is this:
MSA30 Dual Bus [302970-B21]
Seven bays are connected via Bus 1 & seven others via Bus 2.
Rgds.

Re: MSA1000 with no HBA/fiber to hosts - is this possible?
So is it possible for two seperate SCSI controllers on two seperete servers, to see the 14 disks in the storage enclosure, without using the fiber fabric/MSA1000 controller? I believe not, but im putting it out there incase.
Thanks

Re: MSA1000 with no HBA/fiber to hosts - is this possible?
I would like to use the A and B Ultra3 SCSI interfaces on the MSA1000, the ones that I believe are used for adding more storage enclosures ie (MSA30) to the MSA1000 controller.
Thanks again for your responce raadek
