Does the MSA1500 allow you to subdivide RAID arrays into LUN's and
simply present different LUNs to different servers off the same RAID
array?

        All,
         
        I have an MSA1500 that I want to partition for an active-active
SQL cluster.  Is it better to partition the drives at the MSA level into
multiple small arrays, or should I create two arrays (1 for each cluster
node) and partition with Disk Manager?  In the end, I need 16 drive
letters.  If I go with Disk Manager, I can only have 4 primary
partitions so I will have to create an extended partition and use
volumes.
         
        What say Ye?
