In order to connect to the same target with multiple initiators at the same time, a cluster filesystem has to be used. Otherwise, the data may become corrupted. Here are some SAN cluster filesystems:  MelioFS: http://www.sanbolic.com/melio.htm IBM: ...

Unfortunately, at this time we do not support MPIO for Fibre Channel.

1) The one we have seem to have 2 ports available . Is it possible to have more than 2 servers connected to it? >>> Yes, each port has it's own WWN.   2) If customer gets a FC switch, can all of his servers which connected to the FC switch will be able to use FC targets on the...

Problem: If we partition a new volume, will it reset all FC connections as it did for iSCSI? Solution: In DSS V6 and when using SCST it will not reset the connection neither for FC nor for iSCSI.

Problem: We have a dual port fiber channel card and I want to connect two servers one to each port, is it possible? Solution: Yes, as each port has it's own WWN, you can connect 2 servers.   

Problem: I have FIber channel (FC) switch, can all of my servers which connected to the FC switch be able to use FC targets on the Open-E units? Solution: Yes, all FC Initiator will be able to use FC target. It works in thesame way as a network switch.

Problem: I was wondering whether the FC targets are reset-free ? Solution: FC targets are reseted under some actions like changing group or reassigning WWNs

Symptom: Problem:How can the Fibre Channel Port Speed be set up in the DSS? Solution: Port speeds can be configured through Qlogic’s HBA’s CLI tools Additional information: Open-E software impacted: Example ticket number:

Symptom: Problem:Does the Open-E DSS support the handling of SCSI-2 Reserve/Release with Fibre Channel? Solution:yes Additional information: Open-E software impacted: Example ticket number:
