Storedge D1000 sharing disks between two boxes

Hello,

I have a d1000, it's connected to two servers, I want both servers to see all disks in the array. i.e. i have 6 disks, 3 in each side, I want both servers to see all 6 disks.

It appears to be setup in a split bus mode now, ive looked thru the manuals and have become confused!

So, other than trying all the dip switch combinations manually, i wonder if anyone knows how to set the d1000 up in this manner.

Thanks if anyone can help!

Are you sure it's even possible with D1000s? Unfortunately I no longer have current SunSolve access to check... If I recall there was only one DIP switch to change to set it to either full or half access. If it is possible, keep in mind that you will most likely need to change the scsi-initiator-id (in the EEPROM) to a different value on one of the servers. Default is 7, change one of them to 15 I guess... that way the SCSI bus will know the difference between the two sources of I/O requests.

Hi JrAdmin, did you get it working with the suggestions provided?
