Yes, we have brocade FC switchs in Fabric mode.
So point to point, not loop mode.

Debian is not a "commercial" distribution.  Fiber channel is only found in

Hi, on your infrastructure have a optic fiber switch?
I read some think about that have some problem whit emulex card connect 
point to point.




You're right that with Debian, it is not easy to have the hardware vendor 
support
you...
There support Matirix is so restrictive about firmware and driver
versions... (HP here)

If I read that correctly, you're using Debian to test the FC SAN/iSCSI box, but
in production you're going to install W2K3 instead of Debian?  That doesn't make
any sense.  I must be reading this wrong.

Sorry.  I'm no longer with that employer, and we don't have a SAN at my current
place, so I'm unable to do any testing for you.

To be completely honest you're probably better off going with an FC/iSCSI
gateway appliance than with a home brew Linux or Windows box, something like a
Nexsan 400i would probably suit your needs well.

Re: problem whit optic fibre adapter (emulex LP952)

2010-01-19 Thread Stan Hoeppner
Can we get some relevant dmesg and /var/log/boot output?  Also, are you loading
libfc?  You'll need it in addition to lpfc.

Have you tried building a custom kernel with all the stuff built in, not as 
modules?
