The SCSI device (SCSI side of the controller) in your array is going to be an abstract block device -- logical disks --, and not individual disks. The SATA side is going to manage the indvidual -- physical -- disks, and there's non-trivial logic in between the two that will "translate" between the two.


That's what i thought.
I found out today that it really is just a single 'main' server with a 'secondary' hot spare. If the main dies, the secondary takes over seamlessly.
Because the RAID scsi<->sata controller is one, maybe two, ID's on the buss, is it concievable that other similar units could be added if needed? Wouldn't the computers just see several individual scsi units on the buss?
