Will this fibre channel setup work?

Will this work?

1) Install QLogic QLE2464 quad port card in Open-E server.
It's listed as being supported in Open-E by QLogic here:
http://connect.qlogic.com/interopgui...vendor_id=1861

2) Install QLE2460 single port in 4 different client machines.
Again it's listed as supported in Open-E at the link above.

3) Setup 4 fibre channel volumes in Open-E.

4) Connect all 4 clients to the Open-E server using point-to-point (no switch).


Has anyone tried this setup?

Thanks

We had a similar setup active for months, using QLE2462 (dual-port) cards. So I would expect this to work.
