our company recently purchased a Dell MD3220i with 24x 300GB SAS 10K disks for a project. To my great horror, the management tool does not seem to allow any ethernet bonding of the 2x4 ports even thought it was a requirement. How did you overcome this? Multipathing? Use the SAS 6GBit Port? Storage virtualization? I'd really like to just use bonding and have redundancy without the OS handling this... :(
Any hints?
