Hello,
Can CSM200 expansion units be used as an array directly connected to the fibre channel controller on an oracle server (T5120, T5220, T5140, etc..) running solaris. The goal is to use the CSM200 with sata interposer cards to create a budget array for a video storage library, using 1-3TB sata disks. I am not sure if the CSM200's need to be connected to an array controller (6140, NAS 5320, etc..) in order to function or if the fibre channel controller I/O module (375-3336) is smart enough to work as a stand alone array. Not looking for advanced hardware raid functions, going to use zfs to manage raid redundancy, so the arrays disks will either be a jbod of physical disks, or a bunch of raid 0 devices.
Thanks,
