Abstract
An example system includes an enclosure having a plurality of small computer system interface (SCSI) drives partitioned into a first zone including a first SCSI drive of the plurality of SCSI drives and a second zone including a second SCSI drive of the plurality of SCSI drives. The system includes a plurality of communication ports having a first port through which the first zone communicates; and a second port through which the second zone communicates. The system includes a management node configured to interact with the first SCSI drive in a first server as a first Internet SCSI (iSCSI) drive, and with the second SCSI drive in a second server as a second iSCSI drive.
