I've had FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE with a QLA2200 card connected to an IBM ESS (Shark) through IBM 2109-S16 switches (Brocade 3800) working very well. You have to tell the Shark to only use 1 interface for that host (we have 3 per Shark) as there is no dual pathing code yet for FreeBSD.

We have two SANs with FreeBSD and Debian servers on them, sharing (and booting from) a generic RAID array (Mylex controller IIRC). The HBA is a Qlogic QLA-2200. Things to stay away from: - Pure FC-AL topologies - Windows on the same loop as anything else - Storage devices that can only be managed through a proprietary Windows application -GAWollman ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
