Hello everyone,
This is my First contact with dual expander on supermicro chasis SC216BE2C-R920LPB SAS3 12Gb/s 2x Expander. I am hoping someone could help me clarify a few questions.
The manual states that multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection. Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform.
Q1. Is it possible to achieve fail over with multiple expanders and HBAs cards with freenas?
Q2. If possible, then is there any configuration that needs to be done ?
Thanks everyone and specs are as follows
SSD: Mircon S630DC 960G x 12 <----with dual port capability maybe more in the future
HBA: IBM M1215 Flashed to IT mode * 2 or 3 cards
CPU: E5-2630 v3
Ram 64g initially
FC controller Qlogic 2562 8G
motherboard: Supermicro X10DRH-iT (10G network on board)
