You can. Enterprise is intended for those who will use clustering. SAN access is OS independant. Try getting the supported HBA.

Patrick,

Answer .. Yes! Although the link I am attaching to a recent Customer Advisory only applies to a 2000s, same guidelines should apply to your DL 380 G4 Storage Server. Note: the CA was written for a DL380 G3 NAS model with Standard Edition WSS 2003, so some of the recommended update will not apply to your G4 model. Check hp Driver Downloads any G4 updates.
