Very interesting. We are talking about something similar but our Unix system managers say it is not very easy to mount disks from the SAN on another server. We have a Compaq SAN (I think) and servers running HP-UX 11. What software are you using to be able to do all this you describe? What platform? Received on Sat Jul 19 2003 - 03:05:02 CDT
