Reply To: Using a SAN

We plan on using a SAN to run AIX 5.2 and QDXi 5.3 in a clustered environment.  The reason we chose SAN vs. direct attached storage is that it’s fiber connected, and that it will allow for a geographical clustering in two different data centers, with mirroring of data between two separate SAN boxes.  It also allowed us to put multiple AIX clusters and Windows boxes on the same disk storage subsystem.
