Connect Disk Array to 2 servers

Question

Hello. I am having trouble connecting 2 disks to the array.My servers are Dell R720 with H810 controllers, the array is Dell sc200 with 4 10TB disks. From these disks I have made 2 virtual disks in RAID 1 each. I connected the servers with SAS cables to the matrix, both servers see virtual disks, but it works on a first come first served basis and the server that downloads the configuration first has authority over both virtual disks, and wants to make Disk A to server A, disk B is to server B and in case of failure, easily connect disk A to server B and vice versa. Unfortunately, I can't configure it this way, could I ask someone for help? Greetings Patryk

Hello Arogant,

The configuration you describe is not a validated configuration. The SC200 is an expansion enclosure for SC4020

Before you begin, make sure the site where you intend to set up and use the Storage Center has the following:

• Standard power from an independent source or a rack power distribution unit with a UPS.

• Storage Center with the latest firmware, BIOS, and drivers.

Storage Center OS is only on a compellent main system. SCOS is not on a compellent expansion enclosure.
