external SAS array support
are there plans for supporting external SAS arrays ( or having Oracle/Sun SAS JBODS) to be supported on ODA for the purpose of expanding the internal disk capacity.I understand external R/W support is provided by dNFS, but that is only a stop gap measure.
we hit the storage capacity limit (& IOPS limit) before we even get any close to the CPU limit (24 cores).
to effectively use ODA as a consolidation platform for multiple instances, the storage capacity needs to be more flexible beyond what is provided by the internal SAS disks and at the same time still being managed in an appliance fashion (dNFS is not the solution).
