Hello everyone
I need to double confirm that this solutiuon will work for my mail solution.
1 - VA7100 w/ 7 73GB disks in a raid 10 with 1 hot spare.
2 - A5158A fiber channel adapters for L2000.
2 - 4 way L2000
Ok
I have mail1 ( primary ) and mail2 ( backup ).
Both connected to the raid VA7100.
They key here is to have both mail1 and mail2 be able to read the data from the VA7100.
If mail1 dies I can go to mail2 with minimal downtime. As long as all the mail data and configuration is in the raid.
Note the following:
The VA7100 is designed to communicate with multiple hosts and multiple systems, otherwise known
heterogeneous support. Any combination of the supported operating systems HP-UX, Windows
Solaris, AiX, NetWare, Windows 2000, and Linux can be used. Two different protocols, or host port
are used by the array to communicate with the operating systems: one protocol for Windows/Linux/
another for HP-UX. The Windows/Linux host port behaviors must be configured in the array for
communication to take place with any or all four supported operating systems on a controller.
the port protocol to Windows/Linux it does support concurrent operation with Windows/Linux and
The VA7100 provides simultaneous access by all of the supported operating systems on a LUN-by-
Each LUN operates appropriately given the description of the operating system requirements.
Basicly I am just looking to double or triple confirm that this will work before I buy the hardware.
Thanks
Richa
