OOB management simply means that the Areca controllers have a dedicated NIC, so I don't have to rely on some software that may crash or become inoperable running on the OS.Originally Posted by tingshen
what is out-of-band management?
Why would it matter if the raid controller is fully supported by Open-E?
I used to implement 1 supporting Hyper-V clusters and the storage I used was Adaptec 5805Z with Intel X25-M SSDs (8x160GB on RAID 5), fast like rocket
CSV etc shouldn't be a concern at SAN, it's a hypervisor level concern. The only thing about Hyper-V is that, NIC teaming is subject to individual vendors. Suggest you stick to Intel NICs.
How come your customer haven't decided what to use?
