dual host multi-initiator configuration with A3500
hello all,
i want to connect two hosts to a A3500 contreller with 5 D1000 array connected to it. i found in the rm 6.22.1 release notes and in the Sun Storedge A3500 hardware config guide that this is possible but clustering software is required. however i do not need the clustering functionality, the hosts will not access the same arrays at a time. i have changed the scsi-initiator-id of one of the hosts (as described in one of sun's blueprints documents) and have installed rm 6.22.1 on both hosts.
as the docs say this is not a supported configuration without the clustering software - has anyone tried such a config ? what could possibly goes wrong if i connect the seccond host to the A3500 without the clustering software ? (scsi bus resets ?). all help will be greatly appreciated.
i have also checked the "Independent controller module to two hosts"configuration but in this way i loose the redundacy of the A3500 controllers and this is not very good for my situation.
thank you for your time!
