I have three M1000e blade centers, fully populated, and want to know if I can connect the three chassis (all 48 blades) to the MD3000i. The MD3000i has two MD1000 expansion enclosures for a total of 27TB.

Thanks,

Hi solutionsville,

Unfortunately, the Dell MD3000i can only support up to 16 hosts attached to it.

On page 2, Table 2:

On the other hand, the Dell | EqualLogic PS 5000/6000 series of storage enclosures can accommodate up to 512 hosts per pool or 2048 hosts per group.

Thanks, that is what I needed to know.

@solutionsville,

Are you considering the PS 5000/6000 series?
