MD1000 Cluster

Question

Does the MD1000 and the PREC 5/E have a cluser mode, allowing two servers to see the same volumes for a MSCS configuration?

Storagetalk · Answer

The MD1000 (for now) does not support clustering.  Check back in the future.  You can have two servers access the MD in split mode though.

Per the MD1000 manual found here   http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/md1000/en/OM/OM_EN.pdf   NOTE: Clustering is not supported in the MD1000 host-based RAID solution.   This note is found at the top of page 20.       Also the PERC 5/E controller used with the MD1000 does not have any cluster settings available on it. Here is the link to the PERc 5/E manual   Message Edited by cjtompsett on 05-10-2006 09:49 PM
