TruCluster: 700m Memory channel ?

Hi,

Could those of you with clustered systems enlighten me about the hardware
setup of such a system?

We're looking at setting up a clustered system with two DS20E's for our
univesity mail server. We'd like to house each cluster member in a comms
rooms on opposite sides of the campus, 700m apart. Is it possible for the
memory channel to work over this distance ? (We have multicore fibre
running between the two locations) The TruCluster documentation
seems to imply the max distance is 10 meters ?

Also we're planning on having the mail spool & $HOME areas on a RAID array
in a SAN. We're looking at the DELL PowerVault's and fibre channel
switches for the SAN as they are less expensive. I presumethere shouldn't
be any problem attaching these to the compaq DS20E's via a HSG80 fibre
channel raid array controller?

Thanks,

Paul
