We have a couple of single-headed NetApp FAS 3020s. I've only see one of them die. This was after we added a new shelf on a live filer, and the firmware version didn't play well with the existing shelves, and many (many!) disks dropped off-line. A second head wouldn't have helped. On the other hand, being able to do ONTap upgrades by rolling over between heads (versus scheduled outage) would be nice. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
