Hi All Is it possible to stack HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8v switches?
Scenario HP Blade Chassis 6 x BL20p blades installed 3 x 2 node windows 2003 server clusters 2 x HP SW SAN Switch 2/8v HP SAN with 2 x MSA1500 controller in active / redundant configuration So there are two physical links between each server and each MSA We want to add 2 x new blades to build another cluster however this now takes our SAN switch port requirement to 9 ports which cannot be serviced by the current switches This setup will be moved on to new hardware in 18 months to 2 years so we don't want to spend a huge amount of money getting this issue sorted So the question is can we buy another 2/8v switch and stack them in any way? i.e. through the FC ports on the front? Or is there another way around this issue?
