We have two shelfs DS4243 3GB IOM and 2246 6GB IOM so they cannot be in the same stack. They need two stacks.<br />
<br />
FAS 2040 dual head single enclosure. Top SAS port goes to the top IOM of the disk shelf. Botton SAS port goes to the botton IOM SAS port. DS4243 is used for backups and DS2246 for production data. <br />
<br />
I guess technically we could put the top FAS SAS port on one disk shelf and the botton one on the other disk shelf? But then we aren't HA and if one FAS controller head goes down, the other won't take over?

We have a FAS2040 with dual controller into single enclosure. There is no 4 port external SAS capable. It's just one SAS port per controller for a total of two SAS ports<br />
<br />
My question is, can I configure this into a dual stack? We have a FAS 2245 and 4243 which are not single stack compatible.<br />
<br />
I'm almost certain the answer is no but I wanted to consult with the forum first to make 100% sure there is no workarounds in cabling or what not<br />
<br />
Thanks again

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
