Re: Hardware for F330

Ok, so if you can humor a newbie for a few more questions I'd appreciate it. I have a similar configuration with a tray off each slot. I can dasy-chain on more trays? Also, could I use a generic hot-swap SCSI cabinet? And if I put 9 gig drives in them, any special ones?

Also, I notice on the sysconfig that both slot0 and 9 use Qlogic ISP 1020A scsi controllers. As best as I can see those are discontinued, but they're standard PCI scsi controllers -- anyone dropped in another PCI scsi controller and see what it does?

And what's with your CPU speed?

I think the scsi card was made by netapp. so your only option may be the slot0 controller.

Here is my 330 config fwiw.. (check out the cpu speed :) -Luke

Yes, that helps alot! Any idea on adding another scsi card?

Jay,

I have found that standard Kingston 72pin parity memory works fine in both my 220 and 330. You should be able to string a 3rd shelf off of the controller on the motherboard. Don't know where to obtain the Digital Storageworks shelf (Tech Data used to sell them). Corprate Systems is normally a good source for drives. (www.corpsys.com)

Hope this helps.

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone can help. We are a small shop with 2 F330's with 2 disk cabinets on each one. We were looking into adding another tray on each, but were told by NetApps that they are no longer available.

All I'm looking for is to upgrade the memory, add another scsi controller, and another tray (is that asking TOO MUCH???). Questions: Can I use off the shelf memory (and what kind)? What about SCSI controllers? Where can I get disk trays? Could we instead replace the drives with 9G or 18G drives (and what model would we use)?

NetApps solution is to spend $60k+ to upgrade, and all we need is another 10G - 20G. The current system works fine, isn't overused, and could handle the expansion IF WE CAN FIND THE COMPONENTS...

Thanks for the help. By the by, I've been looking for a toaster FAQ, is there one?
