Hello Rod,

We are using 3590E's with EMC 24M2's(Mcdata Sphereon 4500) which are
ISL'd to a 64M director. Basically the configuration you are considering
and we haven't had any problems with the 24M2's.

Hi ITSM'rs,

I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm not a
SAN engineer and find it very frustrating when trying
to navigate the many "support matrix" lists offered by
all the SAN switch vendors.

I currently have 14 3590E's connected to a Connectrix
E64M director using Adic Gateway 3000 switches. The
Adic switches have been very unreliable and I don't
think they are still sold/supported. I'm looking for a replacement for
the Adic switches. In particular I'd like to know if anyone is using
Mcdata 4500 Sphereon's successfully with Connectrix in this kind of
configuration. I'm not certain but I believe the Connectrix E64M is
actually a Mcdata switch.

If anyone is using any kind of switch successfully in
a like configuration I'd like the particulars.

Thanks very much,
Rod Hroblak
