We're considering using an Opteron-based system as a file-serving head to a SAN built around a Brocade SilkWorm 3250 switch. According to Brocade's Compatibility Matrix at: http://www.brocade.com/products/pdf/BrocadeCompatibilityMatrix%5f4%5f27%5f04... the Emulex LightPulse LP9002L fibre channel HBA at: http://www.emulex.com/products/fc/lp9002l.html works and is (or was) supported under SuSE 7.0. Has anyone used this or another HBA successfully in a similar environment under a recent SuSE release? If so, would you share your experiences and recommendations? I checked for the LightPulse HBA specifically and fibre channel HBA support in general in SuSE's component database, but couldn't find anything. Thanks! Roy
