[TriLUG] EMC SAN w/ Linux Configuration

[Kevin Flanagan]

I'm sure that EMC will be happy to send "an expert" from their staff
out, for a modest fee.

Sorry, but I have had really expensive, and painful EMC experiences in
the past few years.

It's my understanding that those LUNS are just SCSI disks to the system
that you are booting, they just happen to be at the far end of your
HBA.  We have multiple Symmetrixes (sp?), how do you make one of those
things plural?  I am going to be in the Linux Eval project at work, and
I believe that one of the items to test is diskless systems, hopefully
I'll be able to share some info soon.
