using two smart arrys in DL380 G7

Just curies is that possible that we use 1x P410i and P411 . one 8HDD cage connect to P410i and other 8HDD cage connect with P411. P410i cage Hdds(data) replicate with P411 Cage HDDs and if somehow P410i smart array goes down other P411 become active and system always up and running.

Hi,

What is and isn't possible isn't always the whole story. If you get this working and one SA dies for example, odds are you'll call HP and they'll say "unsupported".

If you require this kind of availability, the SAN is the solution.
