We have two HP DL 385 accessing a Fibre Channel Subsystem http://www.starline.de/infortrend-eonstor-s12f-G1433-R1432/index.htm which has redundant controllers, each with 2 ports. In the HP we plugged FC controllers from QLogic: # lspci: Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 03) Each of these controllers has 2 ports, so we have redundant access from each server to each controller. On the servers, we run XenServer 5 HP edition (booting from USB) and just had to select "use multipath" and everything worked automatically. We tried removing a single connection, and it still works like a charm. The reason why we didn't buy a HP DSA storage is that the disks are way too expensive from HP, we now use Fujitsu 15k disks and they are very fast and save a lot of money. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
