You take a pile of SAN hardware - fibre switches, fibre HBAs and some

I've got a 1Gbit fibre SAN setup that I'm slowly phasing out, feel free
to ask questions.


Which software you use to run SAN server? Do you connect local workstations through Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel? MacOS for example do not have built-in iSCSI client, and that might be the problem.

PS. If you have some old SAN equipment you do not need may be you can consider to sell it?
