The following table describes which disk shelf models can be used together for which
controller configurations, starting with software release OS8.7.0. DE2-24 disk shelf
connection to ZS7-2 controllers is supported in software release OS8.8.4 and later.
See Cabinet and Cabling Guidelines in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide,
Release OS8.8.x for disk shelf intermixing guidelines and all-flash disk shelf usage. To
understand which controllers support which HBA types, see Maximum Disk Shelves
per Controller Configuration.
Note:
For optimal performance, do not attach all-flash and non-all-flash disk
shelves to the same SAS-3 HBA.
