I know that, based on http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle, I shouldn't have a problem with the Blade server side of thing, but so far, I'm unable to find a way to tie it in with a SAN backend, since it doesn't look like the HP Fiber Channel card for the Blade is supported ... Now, I find it difficult to believe nobody out there is using FreeBSD+Blade+SAN within their infrastructue ... so, if not HP, does anyone have any recommendations on what to use for this sort of configuration? The difficult part appears, to me, to be the 'Blade<->SAN' Fiber Channel card ... :( Thanks ... ---- Marc G.
