Different SSA Adapters sharing an SSA loop

[mediatech]

Can anyone think of a reason why two different SSA adapters could not share the same loop? I know that RAID'ED and non-RAID'ED disks do not co-exist well, however cannot think of a reason why different adapters would be a problem?

I have not tried this yet, but am think of using two 43p's with a 84H9678 SSA RAID Adapter Type 4-i in one machine, and an 89H5667 Enhanced SSA RAID 4p Adapter in the other, to form a single non-RAID group of disks.

Hi,

This may work but you may expect some errors on the ssa loops due to the microcode differences beetween the 2 cards.

Bye.
