FC Target

[gharding]

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?

"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.

Any update about 4Gb FC cards that work correctly with DSS?
Still only Qlogic HBA cards are supported in Target mode?

Due to poor support and development time scales always slipping we have discontinued using our open-e DSS servers and are now using Datacores sanmelody

Just to make things clear - does DSS support 4Gb FC cards in Target Mode or not in current version. so if does not - do 2Gb FC HBA cards work as expected in that condition?

Open-E representative, please advise!
