Hi,
Is it possible for the disk shelf to completely fail? By this I don't mean the power supply or fans because those are redundant and replacable. I thinking more of a board/ic failure or maybe shelf firmware bug that can completely knock out a disk shelf. If there is a remote possibility of this happening, then I figure the partner would not be able to take over the failed filer through channel B as well under a cluster environment. Am I being too paranoid?
I'm looking for something like the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for the Disk Shelf if available, be it FC9 or DS14.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Nic
