Hi All

I am in the process of evaluating Open-E in order to move from an Openfiler setup. Openfiler and IET has been a disaster with my VMWare ESX4i cluster.

I want to make sure that this time I follow the best practices; does anyone have experience mixing SAS and SATA disks on the same controller (Areca) under OE? I have mixed (with luck) the two interfaces on an enterprise Dell/EMC SAN but want to make sure that it's kosher on the EO platform.

Any thoughts? Best practices? Warnings? Experiences with ESX4i and SCST backend?

Cheers and TIA
Dave
