: Don't get any funny ideas Hmm....that's unfortunate. The Java GUI and web interface that's used to maintain the SAN leaves a lot to be desired. I had dreams of performing batch updates etc. via command line scripts, but it looks like those dreams have been nipped early. ;-) Batch updates can be done with Fabric Manager, which will do a rolling upgrade of your entire SAN(s). I can HIGHLY recommend the BCFP (Brocade Certified Fabric Professional) course, which shows you all you need to run a brocade SAN and teaches you a lot of theory behind FC. If that's too much, go buy the "Building SANs with Brocade" book from Syngress, ISBN 1-928994-30-X, which is an excellent starter. Now if i could only get my boss to let me switch all our EMC/McData gear to brocade -- /Jesper Monsted Storage Administrator, TDC Services A/S, Denmark BCFP, BCSD |

: Wrong. FabricOS 1.x, 2.x and 3.x are based on vxworks, but the 4.x series (for the silkworm 12k and 3900's) is a realtime linux. It works really well, too. Wow! I never knew that :-) Wonder if it was a technical or financial reason to switch ? Technical - they ran out of features on vxworks and needed something they could customize to their liking. Unfortunately, it comes at the price of slightly longer boot times. I'll have to have another look at the Brocades ... chances are slim at the mo as it's all McData where I am. Don't mix Don't get any funny ideas So no getting Quake to run then ? :-) I think it's an ARM chip in those boxes and getting a Linux/ARM binary of Quake might be hard The 100 or 200 mhz cpu (3900 or 12000) should be enough, though -- /Jesper Monsted Storage Administrator, TDC Services A/S, Denmark BCFP, BCSD |
