Jeff,

You have it down correctly - in the expansion shelves, one disk must be owned by one head, the others can be owned by the other head. More specifically, it's slot 1 and slot 0 that matter - this is for SES...

Hi Everyone, One of our sites has a FAS270c to which they are going to add a shelf (DS14MkII w/ 5 x 300GB disks). These are the only FAS200-series systems we have and we've never added hardware to them. We would like to add all the disks to a single FAS270 node. However, based on what I can see in the documentation, each system must own at least one of the SES disks in each shelf.

This means that one disk must be assigned to node #1 and then the others can all be assigned to node #2. Do I have it straight? I'd like to assign them all to node #2 without wasting a 300GB disk on "management overhead". Is that possible?
