Multiple PERC H800 in R710 Cabling Support to MD3220 (Duplex) array.

Hello Gurus,

I have a scenario where a customer wants to have the utmost redundancy. He has purchased 2 R710s with 2 PERC H800 controllers in each. He wishes to connect this to single MD3220 (Duplex controllers) utilizing all available ports from the PERCs.  My question is this;

1. Is this a supported config?

2. If so - how would I go about cabling these servers to this single MD array to achieve maximum redundancy?

I do truly realize this is overkill, however, if you've ever lost data you understand where he's coming from.

Thanks.

Actually the H800 will not work with the MD3220 as it is a RAID card. You need a SAS HBA as the RAID is configured using the controllers in the storage device. Below is the link to the compatibility matrix.
