ML150G6 & 8 NHP drives possible?

[Kabuto]

Hello,
I can't find if more than 4 non hot plug hard drives can be installed in ML160G6. Is it possible? Please advise.

[Zygmunt Krawczyk]

There is no ML160 G6, only ML110 G6 or ML150 G6. Which one are you interested in?

Sorry, I fixed the header but forgot to fix the message. I meant ML150 G6.

More than 4 NHP HDDs is not supported configuration, but it can work if you will be able to buy 519734-001 SPS-CAGE NON- HOT PLUG and install it as HDDs bay 5-8.

You could get a MSA or P2000 along with an HBA for 12-48 drives. You can boot from the HBAs. You can also use fiber switches and connect multiple servers to the SAN to boot from.
