Could someone please explain what happens when you loose a single power supply in a shelf?
Is the filer smart (dumb) enough to halt? Do I get 'double disk error' and loose the filesystem?
There is a discussion going on here as to what happens in a hardware RAID configuration vs a NetApp filer when a power supply fails.
The thought is that if I have only one power supply in a shelf and it fails (failing 7 disks) it is like having multiple disks fail and therefore you loose the filesystem.
Thanks, George
