Thanks for the information.
I'm not hugely concerned about load balancing. I was leaning more towards maximizing space. I've never configured any of my NetApps in a Cluster configuration. The ones I have in my datacenter supporting a Testing Lab are single controller units mostly serving just one or two LUNS for VMWare ESX hosts. So the cluster is a tad bit new to me. I have a 'cluster' license.
In scenario 1 mentioned above maximizing space, would controller B take over in the event controller A died or malfunctioned, servicing it's data?
Scenario 2, load balancing, this would allow 2 different LUN's to be offered to the hosts for 2 separate aggregates, or would the data be the same on both aggregates?
Once decided and configured aggregates, I would need to figure out what interfaces would be assigned what IP's and what VLAN on the core switch, then cluster configuration I'm assuming....which I would appreciate ay help on.
Thanks.
