service guard tests (compatability,performance) on SAN

[ShivKumar_1]

Hi experts
I have been tasked to test M/C service gaurd on SAN, from a storage company 3par

So my task would involve testing the SAN product with M/C service gaurd, prepare a test strategy to see if its failing over etc. I have experience with service gaurd but dont have any testing experience in SAN ie breaking the product, load and performance testing etc.

Is there a way to automate the tests for service gaurd like fail over etc? What should be my approach?
If any one has some notes or pointers for the service gaurd testing on the SAN and can post it here would be great.

My task is to get the service gaurd tested with the 3par SAN.

Its not for the certification from HP or anything but for our internal certification, we will be going for the certification from HP at a later point of time. All the ideas that you gave awesome!!!!. All Im interested is in the compatability testing of the service gaurd with the SAN( from 3par called INSERV).
