Re the MSA70. I assume this is purely an extension to the local storage of the server and cannot be used as shared storage???
Yes, it's just DAS so as far as the OS sees it it is local disks. (it can be used as an additional enclosure on a SAN but then it's local to the SAN controllers so to speak).

So an extension to the SAN which acts as shared storage?
Also according to page 23 of the http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12476_div/12476_div.HTML#Storage link you sent, do you know if we can mix and mathch DIMMS of different sizes? In our case we have a number of 4gb, 2gb and 1gb dimms,
So for 64gb per host can we have:
PROC1 PROC2
8gb 8gb
8 8
4 4
4 4
2 2
2 2
2 2
2 2

8GB RAMs are the best price at the moment so yes, use them on the G7, and you can mix/match just about anything within reason. Is there a question on EE about it?

hmm, c£5k for a set of HP 8gb Dimms for a 360 G5!!!

But i can use the 2x8, 2x4 and 4x2 dimms in the 8x slots in the g5?
If I remember correctly you can use any mix as long as they're installed in pairs. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12476_div/12476_div.HTML#Memory

Any idea as to how many additional NICs and types of that i can fit? It has 2x (which i plan to use for LAN) and want to get 4x port or 2x 2ports added for the ISCi SAN traffic....
