It's just my server, the FC controller, and a hard driv= e=20 connected to the controller. I want to connect to devices interfaced with the FC over IP. I have a=20 hard drive interfaced with a qla 2300 controller. Now that I have the F= C=20 setup for IP, how would I mount that disk? Perhaps I'm going about this all wrong though. I always thought IP was=20 an alternative to SCSI for FC. Usually, I mount my SCSI devices. If I'm= =20 not going to use SCSI, then how do I use it if not by mounting?
