You will also need a second fibre channel FC-AL card for each head so you
can daisy chain to your shelves as well as the partners shelves.
So you will need;
Cluster kit which includes the cards, cables and software for each head.
Second LRC's for each shelf (FC9 or FC8)
FC-AL card for each head.
And of course someone who knows what they are doing to integrate it all.

Hi Shaun:
You need some extra hardware to do that clustering and a license for the
clustering from netapp. The hardware you will need (and may already have
you need to check) is second LRC's in every self and the cabling for it
and a servernet card in each head and the cabling for that. I think
that's about it but maybe somebody else can verify.
