Hi all...
Here's a question that I still have never got a straight answer on from anyone:
Using a F230 server with two wide SCSI busses. I have a wide shelf on my 9b bus, and a narrow DEC-Shelf (with personality module) on my 9a bus.
My Q is this:
On my 9a bus(only); since the personality module allows you to set the beginning SCSI/Wide address of the narrow shelf on the wide bus, could one essentially run TWO narrow shelves on a wide bus?
This would be done by setting the first narrow shelf to map narrow-SCSI ID's 0-6 to the wide-SCSI bus 0-6, and setting the personality module in the SECOND narrow shelf (on 9a) to superposition the second narrow-SCSI shelf's ID's 0-6 to the SCSI-wide bus ID's of 8-15?
If SO... then I could buy a personality module for one of my extra narrow shelves lying around and use TWO narrow shelves on the 9a bus of our F230!
If not.. I am thinking about ripping it all out and putting it on a Linux box running SW RAID and SAMBA. But I would really like to keep it set up on the NetApp box if possible.
Anyone know for SURE if this can be done (the former.. not the latter).
