I got asked this question the other day I'm pretty positive it's possibly but was hoping someone here could give me a definitive answer.

Can you take a 1250GB XSR and RAID 5 it. Then take another identically configured XSR and connect the two via fiber and mirror them?

You can do this via sw on the host that mounts the LUNs, yes.

Finally how would people recommend connecting them? Fiber from Xserv to XSR 1 and to XSR 2 and then connect the two XSRs on their other fiber port?

No. Since the mirror operation will take place on the host, each XSR connects to the host.


Or hook everything up through a Fiber switch?

Yes. --
