Currently have a Sun rebranded 8 port QLogic switch for a V880 with 2
HBAs, an L700 Library, and 4 LTO2 drives.

It was installed as a temporary measure untill our SAN infrastructure is
in place, which will consist of Brocade Silkworm 24k and 3800 FC
switches.

        All,

        =20

        We are using an L700 with 5 STK9840s and 4 LTO2 HPUltrium2
Drives.

        What type of Fiber switch would work the best with a Solaris 5.8
server?

        =20

        For those of us who use fiber switches, which kind do you use?

        Which type do you recommend?

        Can you please provide model numbers when replying? Thanks!

        =20

        Anyone here use brocade? Which model would you recommend?

        =20

        Justin.
