HBA card recemmendation

[tom]

Hello Guys,

I was planning to buy Emulex or Qlogic HBA card. Do you guys have any experience, would it work with most of the SAN storage? Please let me know.

Also, can I buy any kind of SAN switch?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of servers and SAN are you using?

Most of our servers are Solaris and some of them are Linux. San, we are using EMC clariion and symmetric and HBA card is EmulexIBM 00P4495 2GB Fiber Channel Card HBA LP9002L.

If your SAN is EMC, use the EMC certified cards. We use the PCI-E EMUlex Cards

Thanks a lot. The card is 64 bit, would it work with 32 bit slot? I have put it in and looks like detected it.

Yes, it might work, but some of the functionalities won't work properly.
