Cost Effective Mass Disk Storage
Looking at a DL360 & MSA20 (12 x 500GB) solution for 5+TB of storage. Ideally 10+TB per unit.
I've been trying to find info on the HP site about how many MSA20's I can attach to a single server, using a SA6404 I'm thinking I could attach upto 4 MSA20 (3 possibly if I stick the internal DL360 disks on a channel)?
Going the MSA1500 route seems a little expensive.
One critical point is the storage needs to be presented to the O/S (Windows 2003) as one volume (RAID5 -> n 2TB logical volumes -> spanned GPT volume)
Thanks
J

Although DL360 has a full length pci-x slot I believe, enough for the SA640x.

Re: Cost Effective Mass Disk Storage
Yes, we already have infrastucture in place for some Xyratex storage (NetApp R200 enclosures before NetApp get their hands on it). But even with an existing FC SAN setup it works out cheaper (~├В┬г1-2k per unit) going the MSA20 route than just adding JBODS on.

I use either Linux or Solaris as my NAS/Fileserver O.S.
