Re: MSCS and LOAD BALLANCING on the MSA1000

Gentlemen,
Let me take a stab at this.
"Load Balancing" is a term that can be used many ways -- Load Balancing (LB) the servers or LB the HBAs or LB the Disks. Uwe was correct when he stated that the MSA is an active/standby system. Therefore the MSA cannot LB at this time (active/active is a future plan). However, you could use SecurePath to manually LB across multiple HBAs in your servers. You could also create multiple Luns and then in your MSCS create multiple resources and assign a LUN and IP Address to each resource. You can then manually move the resources amongst your cluster servers and thus LB your servers.
Hope this helps,
Glenn
