Is the SAN fibre channel, iSCSI= ? I=20 believe there is support from FreeBSD for both types, but I have never trie= d=20 it with FreeBSD. Also, you have to look at whether or not the storage serv= er=20 supports a given OS. In the case of the IBM Shark there is a list of=20 supported platforms that you have to select from when adding a new host to= =20 the configuration. Selecting the wrong type can lead to data access=20 problems. On the other hand, some storage servers may not care. Do carefu= l=20 research, but remember that probably no storage servers support FreeBSD=20 officially. =2D-=20 Jonathan Fosburgh AIX and Storage Administrator UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX=20 --nextPart2121222.ABxt0Do7s3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBB9lGZqUvQmqp7omYRAq39AKCKjTHVDWLYj/hHpiG/k7VSuYvwOACeLbzF F9kqVShhzc7j85eidepytcY= =+wpB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2121222.ABxt0Do7s3--
