46 targets - all disks in four separate A5000 JBOD boxes attached to the
FC hub.

The HSG80 array was directly connected to it's own dedicated HBA adapter
on that Ultra2. Unfortunately I've ran out of PCI HBA's right now
(this is a server for the students computer club) - the Ultra2 HBAs
is SBus ones (for obvious reasons) - the new server is an Ultra 450.

Hmm... Would it help if I use a FC switch instead of a hub (probably not
is my hunch).
