> It is possible to attach more than one host to a single T3+ array (with
> 1Gb cache
> controller). The required firmware is 2.1.0 (or greater). This version of
> firmware 
> also supports up to 16 LUNs per tray. The number of hosts supported
> depends on
> the application workload.

> From my reading and discussions with other people, I would recommend

> to use 
> this configuration in a test environment, but performance is still an
> important 
> requirement for us. I would also check with your local Sun Support
> provider to

> I have checked the available datasheets and configuration documents, but
