Is it possible to connect two Proliant DL320's to a Dual Bus SMA 30 Modular Array each having access to particular drives? I have read info which suggests it is, but have just had a reply from HP support to say it isn't.
Thanks,
John

But if HP says it isn't then they probably will not support it in case of problems

Re: SMA 30 with two servers connected?
Could you tell us which generation DL320 it is, As per the quickspecs the of DL320 G5, I see it supports the MSA30 on SA642/6402. and I don`t see any specific server listings under the MSA30 quickspecs So I belive it should work, as SA6402/642 is a supported controller for DL320 as well as MSA30. Below are the links for reference.

I hope it helps.

Re: SMA 30 with two servers connected?
Dual Bus I/O Module: The dual bus I/O module allows two SCSI channels to access a single MSA30. This allows for greater fault tolerance (controller duplexing) or provides access from two different servers to two separate storage areas.
The last bit suggests it will do what I need. I have forwarded the quote to HP support and will let you know what they say.

SolutionThe MSA30 Dual Bus, has 14 drive slots, 7 connected to one bus and 7 to the other.
Therefore one of your SmartArrays will be able to see the 7 left hand drives, the other the 7 right hand drives.
As long as you don't want one server to see the other server's drives you'll be fine.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob
