Hi,
I shall be investing in 3 T3 raid arrays. I have an FC-AL card in a
host and I want to use all 3 devices on the same host. As they are
FC devices I as assuming that I can just plug all the devices into a
fibre switch or hub and that I should see all as seperate disk
devices.
Is this assumption correct and what sort of switch/hub is
recommended. Are there seperate hub and switch type solutions and is
a there a significant difference in performance between the hub and
switch type solutions.
Cost is quite important as well; if possible some details on
approximate cost (local currency is fine - I'll translate) and your
recommended devices would be handy.
Assuming I can see all 3 as seperate disks, I will do a raid 5 setup
with 1 hot spare on each T3; I'm lead to believe this is the default
setup. How does one do LUN/Raid type setups on a T3 - is Raid
Manager required? Also is the default setup on a T3 to have 1 LUN?
If so then I will do one big filesystem on each LUN to get 3 big
filesystems; one on each T3.
Does that make sense?
Many thanks
Shin
