Flexible vs PCI array controllers
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering what could be the advantage of having 2 Smart Array controllers, for example an E208i-A + E208iP
What are the possibile uses for a configuration such as this?
I was talking about this with a client that wants to use GlusterFS but i don't really know how it would work.

Re: Flexible vs PCI array controllers
Hi,
you can connect more Disk Drives without using a SAS Expander.
You have more Read Cache (The E Modell have only Read Cache).
If you do a Software Raid 1 split to both Controllers, then one Controller can fail, without loss of Data access.
In practice, I prefer one controller because then I don't have two disk pools.
Cali
======================
That was not planned in this way.
