We have a 3050c clustered pair where both filers have 4 shelves of 144G FC disks each. We want to add two shelves of 500G SATA drives to one filer. We are not allowed to mix FC and SATA on the same FC Loop, so the two new shelves must be on a separate loop. Since this is a CF configuration, we will connect these shelves to both filers. The filer that owns the shelves will connect using the "A" port of its adapter while the partner filer will use its "B" port. But since we are not adding any shelves to the partner filer, this leaves us with a vacant "B" port on the filer that owns the shelves and a vacant "A" port on the partner. Does anyone know if this is a problem?
