SAN Card for ML370 G3

[Chris Rosan2]

Can anyone tell me what SAN cards i can use in an ML370 G3?

Preferably HP-Qlogic card (as all my others are), 4GB if possible, but 2GB will do, but must be dual-channel and still available to buy.

It will be connecting into SAN fabric with EVA8100 & MSA1500cs.

O/S is windows 2003.

Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded.

According to the ML370G3 Quickspec the server has 6 x PCI-X 100 MHz slots.

The below card will do!

and it lists PCI-X 100MHz



Hope the helps.

Thanks Mark,

What about a 2GB card? I don't really want to spend a fortune on a card for a server i'm going to decomission soon, and 2GB should be fine.

Chris,

The 2GB Card

I would not expoect a large price difference between the 2GB and 4GB cards.

It is possible the the 4GB card might be cheaper.

I would suggest using the 4GB Card, there is more current work goiong into developing the drivers and firmware.
