At the FT Media Server you must use the specified QLogic HBAs and no other.  At 
the moment that is the 2Gb and 4Gb HBAs, no support that I have seen for 8Gb 
HBAs.  Also no support for ones on mezzanine cards or other packaging, like the 
Sun blade server modules.

We use the Sun branded Qlogic HBAs.

At the SAN Client they don't seem to care what you use.  We use whatever our 
servers support, so is Emulex or Qlogic.  All we insist is that we don't share 
a port with disks or real tapes, have a dedicated port for SAN Client.

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.
