We have a HDS 9980 System and I have heard of HDML. Somebody already
tested that.
And what is the best way to install on a san disk? any pitfalls? Is it
difficult to boot from a SAN disk?
Thanks in advance

I know that the QLogic HBAs have built-in Multipathing support with enabled
drivers (these should be availible from IBM or QLogic). This would prevent you
from configuring Multipathing on OS level, thus making everything a bit easier.
This I would recommend.
Im using QLogic HBAs with HP BL and DL Servers and they work fine under linux.
With IBM HBAs I have no experience. They might work as well or even better.

It will be an IBM x346, but we are not sure about the HBAs. We can
choose between IBM Total Storage DS4000 or with Qlogig HBAs. Any
Suggestions?

Up to now I have installed gentoo an SAN attached disks. I hvae for now
experience with SLES9 and SAN. I'm running a bunch of HP Blades which use SAN
storage. HP provides a devicedriver for these boxes, that enables multipathing
within the driver.
I plan to use this driver to enable SAN access for at least one gentoo box in
the near future. Since HP ships the driver as sourcecode, there should be no
problems.
What setup do you plan? What hardware do you plan to use?
