Hi Guys,
I have read several blog posts that say you can configure the iSCSI sharing and it also somehow mystically works with fibre channel too.
I am asking because I have been given a Cisco DS-C9148-48P-K9 48-Active Ports Multilayer Fabric Switch & 48 x Cisco DS-SFP-FC8G-SW 8GbFC SFP+
and a whole load of QLogic QLE2562 and 2 x 8GbFC SFP+
I have already upgraded the version of NX-OS on the Cisco MDS fabric switch and I am very tempted to pop a dual port fibre channel card in each of my home lab servers and also my FreeNAS box and try it out.
Does anyone know of a decent fibre channel implementation using FreeNAS that has been documented / blogged about.
Also I currently use the Intel X520-SR2 which is a dual port 10GbE card for my FreeNAS box and all my home lab hosts access the storage over iSCSI I was wondering if there was a good guide out there as to how to optimize FreeNAS for 10GbE.
Thanks in Advance,
Simon Sparks
