I'm using a J4200 array as shared storage for a cluster. It needs a
SAS HBA in each cluster node. The disks in the array are visible to
both nodes in the cluster. Here's the feature list. I don't know if
it's still available:
Sun Storage J4200 Array:
# Scales up to 48 SAS/SATA disk drives
# Provides up to 72 Gb/sec of total bandwidth
* Up to 72 Gb/sec of total bandwidth
* Four x4-wide 3 Gb/sec SAS host/uplink ports (48 Gb/sec bandwidth)
* Two x4-wide 3 Gb/sec SAS expansion ports (24 Gb/sec bandwidth)
* Scales up to 48 drives
