After doing more research, I think I can answer my own questions. Here's what I've learned: The SAN operates it's data connectivity through the Fibre Channel connections. It does so using the Fibre Channel/SCSI protocol. HBA cards pretty much all support the SCSI protocol, and some also support...

I now have Navishpere CLI, though after installing it, I haven't come up with a good way to connect the Navishpere Agent to the FC4400. I'm getting the impression that Navishpere works specifically with a SAN attached to an on-board HBA. Since I connected my SAN to a GBIC port on an Ethernet...

Update - I found an outdated 10/100 switch with a GBIC port on it. I took the card out of the Silkworm and put it into the Switch, and everything there seems happy enough... But I'm afraid I don't know what the next step is. Without Navisphere software, how do I make the jump from having a fully...

I've managed to get my FC4400 up and running and managed to create myself a RAID-5 array. Onto the next step - connectivity. I've configured the (Ethernet) network and got it to the point where I can telnet into it. I don't have Navishpere, but from what I understand, I don't necessarily need...

Unbelievable!! My very first set of drives I chose from one of the other bays had the Flare on it! Now I can spend the next 3 months learning how to make it all work... Thanks for the help!

I've been going off the serial console - haven't yet learned what all the lights are. I started with 2 drives from one of the other units and the startup sequence got through ABCDabEabFabcdefghGa then stopped and hasn't responded for about 8 minutes now. (Previously, it never stopped in the...

Thanks for the encouragement... am I correct in my testing procedure - I need only two drives in the head unit, I don't need the head connected to any of the other drive bays, and I can just keep swapping out the drive in position 0 until it works (or I run out of drives to test)? I did read one...

I'm a computer hobbiest and professional, but this post is just to support the hobby. I was given an EMC FC4400 head unit, along with 7 fully loaded drive bays. I've managed to connect the serial console and got it to the point where it tells me it needs a few more pieces of flare to really be...
