FC10 on Red Hat/DL380?

[dan dobbs]

Greetings, all. As we transition off of our old HP/9000 to Linux on a DL380, we're left with a couple drive trays, one being an FC10. Is there a way to use these trays with Red Hat (AS 3), and if so, what sort of parts do we need (I'm guessing at HBA at least, but do we need a fiber switch and whatnot)?

Cheers,

Hello Dan,

To be able to use your FC10 disks, you need :
* an enclosure that accepts the disk (ex : SC10)
* a fibre channel HBA supported on Linux (ex : qlogic-based FCA 2214 for HP Proliant)
* of course some FC cables

Good lcuk.
