MPX200 iSCSI rules and supported maximums
The MPX200 chassis can be configured with one or two blades. Dual-blade configurations provide
for high availability with failover between blades. All dual-blade configurations are supported as
redundant pairs only. iSCSI-connected servers can be configured for access to one or both blades.
NOTE: In the event of a failover between blades, servers with single-blade connectivity to a failed
blade will no longer have connectivity to the MPX200.
Table 178 (page 336) lists the supported maximums for the MPX200.
