sharedstorage.

Microsoft feature support

• Static LUN balancing enables the administrator to optimize I/O by assigning speciﬁc volumes to

speciﬁc paths in the storage system. If one path fails, the storage system moves volumes to the

path for the redundant HBA for I/O management.

• Server-based PCI Hot Plug functionality supports online HBA addition and replacement.

• Logical volume hot-add functionality supports online array expansion, extension, or both.

• Device Manager extension provides point-and-click multipath management.

• Conﬁguration ﬂexibility enables boot volumes for DAS solutions to reside on the storage system.

Linux feature support

• Stat

ic load (read-only) balancing enables the HBAs to optimize I/O with dual paths, to the same

volu

mes in the storage system. If one HBA fails, the storage system moves volumes to the path

for t

he redundant HBA for I/O management.

• Depending on the operating system, servers maintain boot volumes and enable greater storage

capacity on the storage system.

Multiple operating system feature support

• For multipath conﬁgurations with multiple operating systems, use Shared Storage Presentation

(SSP) to restrict HBAs from accessing logical volumes containing data from a different operating

system. For more information about SSP, see the documentation shipped with the 4-Port Shared

Storage Module.

upported four-node conﬁ gurations

he following sections discuss supported multipath conﬁgurations with their respective 4-Port Shared

torage Module connections and locations, for boot and data volumes. These conﬁgurations require two

r three servers attached with four SCSI cables, to the MSA500 G2 storage system.

Two-server external boot conﬁguration

All boot and data volumes reside on the MSA500 G2 storage system. lists the boot volume and data
