Thanks for all of the quick responses. Everyone agrees that the max is for the HA pair. It also makes sense to me since all drives are always connected to both heads. Oh well, that means that our old system is already maxed out.

That limitation is always for the HA pair. It indicates the total number of disks that can be connected to a filer, because the partner disks are also connected you should include them in the calculation.

I have a simple question about an old FAS3020 HA pair that we have. I looked it up in the Hardware Universe tool and it says that the maximum spindle count is 168. Is this the maximum for the pair, or per head? In a failover scenario, can the system only handle 168 spindles total, or 336 total?
Thanks, -Owen
