Example configurations
- Sun storage/Configuration 1 (large, NAS, direct FC for hosts)
- + Fast access for hosts that need it (but maybe this isn't needed)
- - No failover of NAS head
- Sun storage/Configuration 2 (large, NAS only, external FC storage)
- - No failover of NAS head
- Sun storage/Configuration 3 (large, NAS only, integrated storage)
- + NAS head failover
- - RAID-5 only (no 0/1/10)
- Sun storage/Configuration 5 (6540 array, large, NAS only, server NAS head)
- + NAS head failover
- - Server as NAS head needs more effort to configure
- - No iSCSI target
- Sun storage/Configuration 4 (3510 array, medium, NAS only, server NAS head)
- + NAS head failover
- - Server as NAS head needs more effort to configure
- - No iSCSI target
