Re: Shared storage recommendations for 3xESXi 5.1 host cluster

Hi there

Thanks for your response, I had not looked into the HP P2000 G3's - I see they do a iSCSI / FC model (HP P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA DC) which looks perfect for our needs, do you have any idea of ball park figure for either:

HP P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA DC

or

HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA Dual Controller LFF Array System (BK830B) (1GbE not 10GbE)

With 1TB - 2TB (RAID 1+ 0) spread across multiple spindles (maximise spindles) and leaving enough room in the shelf for expansion?

Also do you know if the dual controllers are active / active and you can use all 4-6 x GbE ports for iSCSI?

Cheers
