Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-2 Standalone to Mixed Disk Shelves (1 HBA)

The following figures show a subset of the supported configurations for Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-2 standalone controllers with one HBA. To cable the controller to the disk shelves, see Getting Started with Cabling.

Using mixed disk shelves on a controller requires the following:

  • The controller must use only 4X4 port SAS-2 HBAs

  • Do not use mixed disk shelves in the same chain

Note:

For port locations, see the hardware overview section for the corresponding controller in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide, Release OS8.8.x. 4X4 port SAS-2 HBAs are only supported with release AK 2013.1.0 and later.
