Is the SAN fibre channel, iSCSI? I believe there is support from FreeBSD for both types, but I have never tried it with FreeBSD. Also, you have to look at whether or not the storage server supports a given OS. In the case of the IBM Shark there is a list of supported platforms that you have to select from when adding a new host to the configuration. Selecting the wrong type can lead to data access problems. On the other hand, some storage servers may not care. Do careful research, but remember that probably no storage servers support FreeBSD officially. -- Jonathan Fosburgh AIX and Storage Administrator UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX
