Excellent! Congratulations!

Kinda what we went through, slightly different setup but I believe it was emulex/IBM 345s, Suse, sym8x10 and brocade fabric..this was about 1 1/2 years ago

cheers,

Folks,

We have successfully implemented a diskless server solution using an EMC 
Clarion CX500 SAN.

It took allot of struggles, a couple of 16 hour days, and we almost wore out a 
set of instellation media. We are still working out some details. We are 
putting together a document to detail our solution. It should be out next 
week sometimes.

Currently we have a SuSE SLES-8 Server running 100% Bootless :) It's very 
cool, and quite fast.

Justin,

We are using Emulex Cards, HP DL380's and a switched point to point meshed  
network. Dual Emulex cards, dual switching networks, and dual CX500's with 
two service processors each.

Ron
