I'll add a fourth vote for Active Storage. We now have 3 master
chassis and an expansion chassis online in several Xsan volumes at two
locations. Their support team is very knowledgeable and friendly.
When we got our first chassis/expansion chassis pair we had a number
of issues trying to get things up and running. The Active guys were
incredibly responsive and helpful in diagnosing the problem.
Ultimately turned out to be a specific revision of the Apple/LSI HBAs
has problems hosting metadata LUNs on the Active equipment. We have
quite a mixture of fibre channel hardware, some newer and some dating
back to Xsan 1.0, so it was interesting to try to nail it down. Once
we identified the problem, I rearranged our fibre channel cards and
everything has been smooth sailing since.
