controller.

5.1.4 Connecting Two Hosts to One Host Channel
(SATA Only)
Except in some clustering configurations, if you connect more than one host to channel
0 or channel 1 in a DAS loop configuration, you must use host filtering when you want
to control host access to storage. Refer to the SANnet II Family RAID Firmware Users
Guide for information about host filters. Refer to the user documentation for your
clustering software to determine whether the clustering software can manage host
access in this configuration.
5.2 Larger Configurations
Larger configurations are possible using additional expansion units connected to FC
arrays or SATA arrays:
Up to eight expansion units are supported when connected to a SANnet II 200 FC
array.
Up to five expansion units are supported when connected to a SANnet II 200 SATA
array.
Up to five SANnet II 200 FC expansion units and SANnet II 200 SATA expansion
units can be combined when connected to a SANnet II 200 FC array. This enables
you to use FC drives for primary online applications and SATA drives for secondary
or near-line applications within the same RAID array.
Note – The SANnet II 200 SATA SE array does not support expansion units.
Certain limitations and considerations apply to these mixed configurations:
Connect SANnet II 200 SATA expansion units only to host channels (channels 0, 1,
4, or 5) on the SANnet II 200 FC array that have been converted to drive channels.
For information about converting host channels to drive channels, refer to the
SANnet II Family RAID Firmware Users Guide.
