1) SAS HBA seems to be an I/O card which has SAS cable connection. It sits in the OSol server. It is basically just a simple I/O card, right? I hope these cards are cheap?
2) So I can buy a disk chassi with 24 disks, connect all disks to one SAS cable and connect that SAS cable to my OSol server, which has a SAS HBA I/O card? Is this correct? Or do I need one SAS cable for each disk, hence I need 24 SAS cables? 3) Does the SAS HBA card need Solaris drivers? 4) Will there be performance hit if I connect 24 disks to one SAS cable/HBA? Maybe band width in one SAS cable will not suffice for 24 disks? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
