On the VMware side, as far as I understand you can only
use FC to the physical machine, not to a virtual machine, as the VM's do not
support FC.
I believe you can still use VCB with Iscsi, it just needs
a bit more scripting, I would check out the VMware discussion groups on the
VMware website, I have always found them very helpful.

We already use ISCSI, but we aer thinking about VMWare
and VMWare has some nice features (e.g. VCB) which need an
FC-SAN.
Thanks anyway

If you are looking at low cost san, I would go Iscsi,
as long as everything you need on Iscsi is on Gig ethernet ports, it should
work fine.

Hi,
as
we use not too much SAN at our site i am not really used to this topic.
Yesterday i read an article about "simple SAN". "Simple SAN" seems to mean
as an plug-n-play solution. But what about the components
espacially the SAN-switches?
Do
we see really new (and cheap :D) SAN-switches or only old products
"reassembled" as a solution for small companies.
Regards
Jochen
