Re: Status of qlogic tcp/ip (fc0) support

You can communicate with other servers on the same SAN network also 
using FC-IP.
I don't understand what you mean with "mount" ?
You have nothing to mount, it's a network interface like any other one 
to use classic IP protocol.

It has nothing to do with iSCSI or something like that...
