RAID is one thing. (Which is why I'm doing full backups every night) Now if EMC would like to give up a CX3-10 for eval purposes, I'm you're guy. I've done ACT and have an extensive R&D background, I know how to do Test/Acceptance and evaluations. ;-) Seriously - the funny part is that the main thing I had hoped to get out of this wasn't for the FC aspect of it, it was for the VMWare. I'm currently playing with VirtualCenter, VMotion, and the like, trying to figure out the gotchas involved in it. See my latest post. LOL – it’s not a *REAL* array – I gave up a lot to try this out.

And there was me starting to believe all the chatter and hype that only a small portion of even the enterprise customers were going to use FC going forward and everyone else was going to adopt iSCSI, FCoE...... yda yada yada. I was actually thinking of getting a small FC setup like that in my home office, but my other half will only let me do that if I get solar panels on the roof to provide the required power (rising energy prices and all). So I wont be holding my breath :-( You have your own fibre channel array and network at home – nice one!

I'm going to give it a try though, just because I've been getting a lot of iSCSI engagements of late and really need to understand more about the how/why. if I had a real network switch I would – I’ve got a bunch of Cisco 10/100 switches in inventory but push too much traffic for those.

Overhead for no reason. We've been doing LOTS of vmware+NFS installations lately, and you'd be shocked how great it works. That's what I'm running at home right now actually. NFS luns presented off my opensolaris fileserver. Bah@iSCSI and FC. Overhead for no reason. We’ve been doing LOTS of vmware+NFS installations lately, and you’d be shocked how great it works.
