Inappropriate?Just to recap :
MatrixStore node = CPU + Disk or Disks
At the moment there is a one to one relationship between Xserve and XSR.
We do have an item in our roadmap however to extend this to 2 XSR per xserve (with the new 4 port Fibre Channel Card becoming so much cheaper)
There are good reasons (which are open for debate!) why do not have 4 or 10 XSR to one Xserve, a few being:
- Data protection. MatrixStore will re-protect all the data on a failed node. If that node has half a Petabyte hanging off it then the recovery time will be weeks or months.
- Performance, We do not want people queuing up to get their data because the system is choked by too few access points.
