feature MSA1000

[Gustavo_34]

What thing do I have to heed to buy a MSA1000?

Confusing question, but if "heed" is not a typo, then:

Don't let more than one server see the same drive (requires cluster and/or readupon SSP)

More than one connected I/O module, integrated switch, or card in each server requires securepath (more reading i'm afraid).

Otherwise lovely bit of kit for < 5 servers. You can even take your disks off a smart controller (with the power off of course, and insert in the MSA, with the power off again - otherwise your data is toast) called DAS to SAN or DtS technology.
