I’m looking at possibly buying a set of EMC XtremIO X1 xbrick hardware, but there is a catch, there are no power or SAS cables and there is no software on the two controllers.
The hardware (xbrick) consists of the following:
1x DAE w/ 25x 400GB SSD
2x Eaton battery back-up
2x Controllers (1u server) w/ 2x 200GB SSD and 2x 900GB 10k, 1x QLE2562-WB 8GB FC, 1x dual port 1/10GB iscsi and a dual port infiniband card.
Since there is no software on the controllers could these still be used as an array? Is there any free software out there and that would use a dual controllers?
thanks
