FC Target

[To-M]

Thanks for the update, have you tested 1.30 DSS in the "Engineering_phase" directory? Final release is scheduled next. Also this would be good to add in the VMware section - looks like you are ahead of most .

Hi Todd,

I think I will wait until they have support for the 4GB FC Cards which is what we are really wanting and the realtime failover which I thought was going to be this month or has the dates change on these two options?

Update!!! This has been rescheduled and no set date will be announced. We request that all inquiries to this subject be on hold. Thank you for understanding this issue. No further details are available concerning the Auto Failover.

Please disregard any dates to this subject!!

"Failover was delayed and is expected in September"

What about the Qlogic 4GB FC cards are they still expected this month?

We wont know until the developers complete the drivers (we had to build it and this takes longer) and run the test. It was scheduled but if they have issues they won't release it – that’s why I can give an answer yet.
