Hi,
I have a E250 and A5000 storage but I have no HBA card inside my E250
server. By the way, I have bought a qlogic 2100f from ebay. Can I use
it to connect the A5000?
Thanks.
I seem to recall that the SUN A5000 (aka photon) arrays used their own
SUN-branded interface. It wasn't standard Fibre protocol so you can't use a
Fibre HBA to connect to it.
I think you're thinking of the SSA (Sun Storage Array). Those ran at an
odd speed of something like 25MB/s and point-to-point only. The A5000
is normal FCAL.
I'm not sure if it needs special drivers though. This post seems to be
somewhat relevant.
