HP Drive Shelf M6720

[mathomas3]

Hello all,

 

Im expanding my setup and was hoping some of you might be able to provide a sanity check on the build below.

I just bought a HP Drive Shelf M6720 to provide expanded space

First I have LSI SAS 9207-8i HBA that complains that is has too many hdds attached to it(15 in total)

I just ordered a LSI SAS 9207-8e to connect to the Drive Shelf vai 3 8088-to-8088 cables. As I understand it I connect each of the controllers to the LSI and then to each other paying special attention to the in0out ports

Im thinking that is should work but I have question my sanity of it...

Thoughts?

Thank You

That should work, one cable from the LSI to each controller.

Thanks for confirming that... been working around these systems for years... never a HP before... and never setting these up by scratch...

I cant confirm since I don't know that exact model, but assuming there's nothing special about it it *should* work.
