Not a lot to add other than to say that drivers might be worthy of a little more examination - there was a time in the not-too-distant past where there was a bug present in the RH bnx2x driver that HP addressed in a PSP. But - for the most part, they are not required. One other point of consideration is that HP support might take exception to the exclusion of the HP fibre drivers, but use your discretion (I'd not deviate from SPOCK/STREAMS SAN support guidelines, but then I'm just an implementation consultant and have to turn things over to my customer for long-term care & feeding). The HP driver scripts in the RPMs have a tendency to be REALLY sloppy about initrd/grub.conf and modprobe.conf - there's little intelligence in the edits it makes. I am not sure what package it is (I never bothered to find out) but in the 8.60 PSP there is _something_ that munges modprobe.conf and combines 2 lines into one - in my case thereby breaking the line that configured the lpfc driver - leaving my freshly booted hosts (16 of them) without a working FC driver.
