Multiple RemotaSilo Chassis Connected
via Ethernet
As many as 16 RemotaSilo chassis can be connected together via
Ethernet cables. All chassis in the system are monitored and controlled
by a single host computer. For purposes of this User’s Guide, a
RemotaSilo “cluster” will be defined as a mass storage system
configuration which meets all the following conditions:
a. Multiple RemotaSilo chassis are connected via Ethernet cables
using the Ethernet ports installed on each chassis
b. All RemotaSilo chassis connected via Ethernet cables are
monitored by and connected to a single host computer via a
serial cable (a SCSI port is also available).
