MSA Model to use for Clustering
Hi ,
I recently purchased MSA20 for Clustering 2 HP servers, which later I came to find out that MSA20 does bot support shared disks.
I would like to know which MSA to buy which supports shared disks, and probably in which I can use the same hard disks.
Please assist.
Thank you

Re: MSA Model to use for Clustering
you're probably looking at an msa60 if you want to re-use the disks , see here :-

Re: MSA Model to use for Clustering
you can take the MSA2000sa. MSA60 or MSA30DB are not supported for clustering.
Best regards,
Patrick

Re: MSA Model to use for Clustering
For x86, you need a different technology like SAS, Fibre Channel or iSCSI.

Re: MSA Model to use for Clustering
I am using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition for the two HP DL380 servers. And it is installed with HP 6402 smart array controller, which has SCSI connectors. .
I need alternate MSA solution which support SCSI connections and probably if I am able to use the same MSA30 hard disks. To avoid extra costs.
Please help.
Thanks

Re: MSA Model to use for Clustering
And you can't use this type of backplane RAID-controllers for clustering:
- can't turn off the termination
-- you now have 3: SA-1, SA-2, MSA
- can't change the SCSI address of one of the controllers
