QLogic FCal Card Brocade FCAL switches XP256 with 1,5 TByte in ~7 Gig slices. the problems which prohibited us from using this setup in a production environment: Linux could not scan all the LUNS and SCSI ID's without kernel modification. The mapping from LDEVs to SCSI-ID/LUN could not be performed in a reliabel way on the linux box. Since the XP256 was shared between different servers (Sun Solaris) this was the showstopper. We could never be certain which ID/LUN corresponds to which LDEV (7 GByte Slice). > > Thanks for your help > > Holger Zecha H > > SAP R/3 Project Services > Operations Services Center > Hewlett Packard GmbH Telefon: +49 7031/468 3423 > Schickardstrasse 25 Fax: +49 7031/468 1349 > D - 71034 Boeblingen e-mail: Holger_Zecha@hp.com > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html > _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
