mixing Qlogic and and Emulex HBA cards

2003-12-11 Thread Fyodorov, Andrey
Hello everyone.

We have Dell PowerEdge 6650 servers attached to the SAN via Emulex
LightPulse cards. It's working great.

Now we are setting everything up for a SAN backup using TSM LanFree.

We don't have additional Emulex cards and the management does not want
to pay extra money for them. But we have Qlogic cards.

We have tested the TSM LanFree backup with a server attached to SAN with
Qlogic cards. No problem. Great backup and restore speeds.

Would this be a good idea to mix Emulex and Qlogic cards on a production
system (Emulex continues to work on the regular data, Qlogic will
provide the path for backups)?

Thanks,

My somewhat limited experience with SAN's (I've got one with 3 hosts right
now) has shown that it should work fine.
