You can only access other FC nodes (essentially servers) that also have= =20 IP over FC activated.

If you want to this, use SCSI over FC, it's the traditionnal way to do = it. You *really* have no interest, even it would be possible, to use IP to=20 mount SCSI devices... --=20 =46abien SALVI - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
