 Liberal use of zoning should help that.  Each Windows HBA should be in a 
 seperate zone.  This is from personal experience and also assumes you are 
 using a switched fabric.

I said ``loop'' for a reason.

The configuration that we were sold is pure FC-AL.  No fabrics.  Don't
do that, it's bad for your sanity.  If you can't afford a switch, you
can't afford Fibre Channel.

 I have a customer doing that.

Is this your customer running the DEC^WCompaq^WHP HSG80 raid array?

 Works ok.
 
 You need qlogic 2300 cards and the isp driver which Matt Jacob maintains.

Qlogic 2200 should also work (but is 1Gbit only)

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.


Carl.
