Re: Raid and Lun's New territory for me

Would I be wiser to take the fibre channel switch out of the mix in this case? Instead of using the two cables coming out of each server. And have just one going from one server to raid controller A and one going to the other server from raid controller B?

Would there be any better throughput with the switch?

Because you are using a fibre channel switch though you need to use lun masking as you said or set up zones on your switch... I would recommend the later.

Sorry I didnt clarify. This is an Xserve RAID. They are the two controllers and on the one side I have an existing RAID 5 array. On the other side I put in 4 more disks and am formatting them as a raid 5 set as well.

I would like one Xserve to access the array on one side and the other Xserve to access the array on the other side exclusivley. No Xsan is involved.

Okay easy.

thats the default config setup.
configure you controller in raid admin.
then create an array go through steps 1 through 3

you'll have 2 RAID level 5 sets ( thats default out of the box )

plug in your fiber channel cables one to each xserve. boot the xserve first then the RAID. it should mount as a big fat drive.
