- RH fibre drivers are usually good, you don't need to install QLogic (or Emulex) drivers. - I don't use management tools like SANsurfer. - Navisphere agent is OK. - RH dm-multipath is "better" than EMC PowerPath, because it is the native MPIO tools for Linux, it is also supported by EMC and PowerPath RPMs are often nasty :-( I usually avoid as much as possible to install vendor drivers and tools and I prefer to use those included in Red Hat, especially to make OS upgrades easy.
