which port to use.
Single expander mode: SAS drives are not required, no high
availability is possible with this configuration. The SAS
HBA/RAID controller sees all 16 HDDs from DSS316J-S3.
Connect SAS cable to Host Port of the Primary Module.
Daisy-chain mode: a single expander mode with expandable
storage. The SAS HBA/RAID controller sees the collective
HDDs from the daisy-chained DSS316J-S3s.
Connect the Expander Port from the first unit to the Host Port
of the second unit and so on.
Dual expander mode: SAS drives are required. Two clients are
able to connect to the unit storage device due to the dual
port nature of the SAS drives. This configuration provides a
redundant path and high availability.
Clustered Storage Spaces mode: SAS drives are required. In
the below configuration, both hosts will have all the paths to
all 16x disks at the same time.
