For our Linux systems attached to EMC storage we use only Qlogic HBAs.
Haven't done any fibre to tape on Linux yet.   The other vendor in that
space is Emulex - the one time I tried to use Emulex in a test setup for
disk arrays offsite they didn't seem to work for me but I'll admit I
didn't spend a lot of time trying to debug them before I asked the site
to give me QLogics instead.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Fibre Transport HBAs

I've purchased some Enterprise clients and plan on using the Fibre
Transport Feature to back them up. I'm on the market for the QLogic
HBAs that my media servers need in order to backup a SAN client. From
what I've read in the NetBackup 7 FT Guide, it just says that as long
as I get a Q Logic 234x I should be fine. Is there a preferred HBA
that those of you already running FT like to use? I want to make sure
I buy the right HBAs.

Thanks.
