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.
