Thomas, You can consider the DataON DNS-1600(4U 24 3.5" Bay 6Gb/s SAS JBOD). It is perfect for ZFS storage as the alternative of J4400. http://dataonstorage.com/dns-1600
And we recommend you to use native SAS HD like Seagate Constellation ES 2TB SAS to connect 2 hosts for fail-over cluster. The following is setup diagram of HA failover cluster with Nexenta. Same configuration can applied to Solaris, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana http://dataonstorage.com/nexentaha We also have DSM(Disk Shelf Management Tool) available for Solaris 10 and Nexenta to help identify fail disk and JBOD. You can also check the status of all FRU http://dataonstorage.com/dsm FYI, we have reseller in Germany. If you need the additional info, you can let me know!

We are looking for JBOD systems which (1) hold 20+ 3.3" SATA drives (2) are rack mountable (3) have all the nive hot-swap stuff (4) allow 2 hosts to connect via SAS (4+ lines per host) and see all available drives as disks, no RAID volume. In a perfect world both hosts would connect each using two independent SAS connectors The box will be used in a ZFS Solaris/based fileserver in a fail-over cluster setup. Only one host will access a drive at any given time. It seems that a lot of vendors offer JBODs but so far I haven't found one in Germany which handles (4). Any hints? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
