I'm talking to my supplier about going this root, and am having problems finding out if I can even do it :( I was pointed to jcagle's page on the HP Blade stuff (http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle), but what I can't seem to find is how to connect the Blade<->SAN ... >From what little I've learnt so far, there is an HP Fiber Channel controller that is used to connect the Blade to the SAN, but I can't find anywhere that indicates that there is a FreeBSD driver for it ... Is anyone running such a configuration right now? Also, another thing that was mentioned to me was the ability to 'boot on SAN', instead of having drives in the Blade itself ... is this something that can be done with FreeBSD, and, if so, is there anywhere on the web I can read up on this? Thanks ... ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664
