Linux Serviceguard/HDS HBA recommendations

Paul Cross_1 — Thu, 23 Dec 2004 11:35:48 GMT

I was browsing the linux Serviceguard supported hardware list for the recommended HBA for attaching to an HDS (hitachi 9960). Considering that it is essentially the same machine as the XP512 (there are microcode differences, i know) I was quite surprised to see that the list is very short, and doesn't contain any of the cards that we use here.
Does anyone else to this? (RHEL 3, Proliant DL740s, MC/Serviceguard HDS array)
I'm thinking off the top that the qlogic 2340 should work, but a firsthand recommendation as in what to buy, or more importantly maybe, what not to buy would be really helpful...

TIA

Thanks for the response, sorry I didn't read it earlier, i was away from all forms of technology for the holiday. I have seen this matrix before, and although it does mention the XP512 the HDS 9960 is not included.
