Hi *,
I've managed to boot my P670 off the SAN. I have a P670 connected via a
SINGLE 6228 FC adapter, across a SINGLE FABRIC, connected to a model F20
Shark.
Now the question: What happens when I go DUAL FABRIC? How do you boot
from the Subsystem Device Driver ? Anyone done this ?
Or rather than using the SDD, do I instead carve 2 LUNs, install 2 FC
adapters in the P670, attach one to each fabric, and then assign each
separate LUN to the individual adapter. Then I can do LVM mirroring.
This way, I am protected from a fabric outage, FC adapter outage, and by
using the Shark, I am protected from a disk crash.
Has anyone done this ? Or is this just overly complex ?
BV
