I have two systems each with LSI RAID cards and HP SAS Expanders. The expanders have a Mini SAS26P SFF-8088 ports (external) What I'd like to know is if I can connect the two systems together via Mini SAS26P SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 cable so that the two systems can pool their storage.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
 
Solution
I don't believe you can connect a controller to a controller. I believe you have to connect a controller to a target (drive, etc).
You should get 10GE cards for the two systems and use a 10GE DAC cable to connect them.
