		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I have started the process of converting my own CX300 to a CX3-20c.  (yay!  upgrading from SERIOUSLY out-of-date hardware to MODERATELY out-of-date hardware, right?) Why?  Because it&#8217;s there.  Since EMC doesn&#8217;t offer free training to sub-sub-sub-contractors such as myself, it falls to me to learn what I can where I can.  Besides.  It&#8217;s fun.

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, that was too cutsey for such a classy establishment. When you&#8217;re building a SAN, everything should play together, in the same SAN box if you will (with my apologies to QLogic.) When you start putting in multiple stand-alone SAN islands you increase your maintenance overhead exponentially.  You also prevent the very thing that make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This may be a more well-known reference than I earlier thought. I grew up watching Happy-Days.  The show was great until the episode where Fonzi jumped the shark-tank.  After that it pretty much went down-hill quickly. Hence the term &#8220;Jumped the shark&#8221; or &#8220;Jumping the shark&#8221; has come to mean any single event that marks [...]]]></description>

Situation was:  Customer had Mirrorview/S set up within the existing switch environment, replication worked perfectly. Then they reconfigured the switches to run FCIP so they could start replication to a remote site.  This is where things went [...]]]></description>

I started the FC@Home project then.  Because I [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know how many of you happen to have looked at the resume I had posted &#8211; but I spent a couple of years at Strategic Business Systems (www.sbsplanet.com).
