Andy I am currently using HP MSA1500cs SAN setups on FreeBSD 7 and 6.3 using qlogic cards in HP DL380G4 and G5 servers. I am not yet using multipath fiber channel which is supported in 7 and I want to test this out soon. As for Redhat ES 4 and 5 I am also using the same hardware setup , I have to say that RedHat ES4 works better for me the Enterprise 5 . ES5 has some odd ball networking issues, when you upgrade from say update 0 -> 1 or 1 -> 2. For some reason Redhat decided that it needed to remove your configs for eth0 as part of the upgrade. I would say to look at using 64Bit FreeBSD 7-RELEASE and ZFS as the filesystem on the SAN. ZFS is hands down better then EXT3+LVM .
