Hi All,
I am installing a new NetApp FAS8300 system equipped with an DS212 shelf (12 x 12TB NL-SAS disks) and DS224 shelf (10 x 3.8TB SSDs). My question is how to connect these two disk shelves to the controller: should they be daisy-chained in a single stack, or do they require separate stacks/loops? If daisy-chaining is supported, which shelf should be positioned first (closest to the controller)? Additionally, I plan to use the DS212 shelf for the root aggregate disks.
Ordered mini-SAS HD SAS optical cables for both shelves.
Your help and inputs will be very valuable.
Thanks and regards.
Praveen.
