Re: P520

yes please, becuse i really need your feedback
I am in the process of implementing RHEL 4 or 5 on p52A (internal disk) Dual
channel SCSI RAID Enablement Daughter Card attached to SAN DS4700
connected through 4Gbps PCI Express HBA card with RDAC
using 2x SAN switches SAN16B-2.

Thanks

No, the machine was barely functional. I was booting it off SAN storage
and the lack of a good driver for the card made it almost impossible to
even navigate file systems. I haven't had a chance to try booting the
system off of internal storage and using the SAN for just data file
systems. Still in the process of testing RHEL on ppc for production
systems. I'll give it a shot if I have some free time this week and let
you know.
