    Sorry for not being clear.

    I am looking to buy some cheap disk space that would be appropriate for
    HACMP testing. Not for our production environment at work, but only to
    study HACMP for my own understanding of the software and be able to
    setup/test HACMP. I currently have an understanding of it and administer
    the product at work, but I would like a much deeper understanding of it.
    Especially v5.2.

    So I am looking for some cheap disk space that I can connect to two
    43P-150s and test HACMP.

    Thanks,

    This is more of a side-note:
    If you're looking for something that you'd use for testing and validating
    proposed changes to your production environment before rolling them out
    into production, I'd recommend going with something as close to your
    production environment as possible/feasible (ideally, the exact replica of
    the production configuration).

    If you meant "testing" in another meaning, then I'd go with your suggestion
    of eBay, plus see what's supported on AIX 5.3/HACMP.

    Hello,

    What is the cheapest shared disk I can purchase, that could be used for
    HACMP failover/testing on AIX 5.3 between two 43p-150 servers? I would want
    to acutally be able to fail over a VG in testing. I am hoping for something
    used, perhaps from eBay.

    Thanks,
