We have a F220 and our first drive enclosure is the standard Digital Storage Works one provided by NetApp. We are considering making our second enclosure be an Adjile Systems Lynx enclosure, since we have had good experience with them in other systems.
We are wondering if there are any incompatibilities between the Lynx and the F220. I know when a drive is "raid fail"ed with the DSW enclosure that the lights indicate the drive is spun down and ready for removal. The Lynx does not provide that kind of lighting, but it is designed for hot swapping.
I don't think any other enclosures are allowed except on a PVR and unsupported basis. I'm surprised if Netapp is changing this, as even different Storage Works enclosures have demonstrated problems with each-other, let alone other enclosures.
