That's the plan. I mean, it works with network mounts (which effectively have to handle it somehow too) and other forms of NAS access and as far as I understood Rands answer, it works with SAS too so I will try it and let you know if it does (gonna take up to a month for the HBAs to arrive though)Now you want host A and B to access drive X and Y at the same time?
They use dual port sas drives and two expandeers?how do you think external jbod chassis do it
A sas switch are cascaded expanders with sas zoning enabled/configuredA SAS switch can also do this I believe.
Microsoft supported this storage spaces setup with dual ported sas devices and dual expandersMicrosoft does/did support shared sas cluster storage, where an external JBOD is connected to multiple hosts.
And each of the two expanders can take over all drives in case the other ones brake down... but yes, thats much more preciseThey use dual port sas drives and two expandeers?
