Multi-Initiator Information

The Sun StorEdge D2 array is supported in a two-node cluster configuration.
Note – To use the Sun StorEdge D2 array in a multi-initiator environment, you must
use clustering software. Sun Cluster 3.0 software support for the Sun StorEdge D2
array is currently under qualification and anticipated for availability in Q402.
In a multi-initiator (aka multi-host) connection, both nodes need to be Sun SPARC
servers. Only a multi-initiator configuration that runs Sun Cluster is supported by
Sun. This applies to Sun StorEdge A2 arrays.
