In a Linux environment I would use the itdt utility supplied by IBM for this kind of test. I don't know whether the utility has the same name under Windows. Was the World Wide Port Name of the old drive transplanted to the new drive? If not, you will probably need to update SAN zoning. Thomas Denier Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
