[Sunhelp] Dual Hosting of A1000s between E450s

It's split in two - you can run all 8 bays into one host (with the small
jumper cable in the back), or run two individual sets of up to 4.  You
can't physically share one full chassis to two hosts .. under the SCSI
rules, that really isn't possible.  You could logically share it using NFS
if you really wanted to (ught)
