Okay... 4U Disk Enclosure, has 2 physical compute nodes, each physical
compute nodes has 2 LSI 9211-8i controllers, so thats 4 total controllers
across 2 nodes
the box is enclosure is zoned and FreeBSD can see the following
nodeA
16 daX devices
16 sesX,passX devices
NodeB
16 daX devices
16 sesX,passX devices
there are 32 disks in the box, so the numbers are good, however
each LSI card only has a total of 8 SATA drives assigned to it
hence 4 x 8 = 32 drives.......
for gmultipath and zfs shouldnt each controller see 32 drives? or 16 drives
for HA
basically im thinking the enclosure shouldnt be zoned at all so each LSI
controller
can see every SATA drive, with gmultipath in the mix, i should be able to
label 32 devices, and have both nodes recognize them... correct??? or am I
chasing the rabbit down the wrong hole?
