Interesting.  I did not know IBM was OEMing pathlight.  I currently am
testing with a Crossroads but hear the pathlights have better throughput.
Since IBM will be reselling McData switches now, they should have support
for all of the components we intend on deploying.

You are correct, 3590s are Fibre Channel supported through the IBM
SAN Data Gateway (OEMed from Pathlight I think it was).  I have
sent out a couple of SAN proposals to for a couple of customer
so we will see how that goes.

BTW last I heard, the 3590 native FC support was coming out 2H00.
