We are going to test a spare 3050 head (with two shelves of 10k 144gb drives) with FC. We haven't used them for FC up to this point, and we are a bit skeptical of what a filer will provide in the SAN landscape. They have been great in the NAS environment. What are everyone's experiences? Do they perform well with SQL databases or databases in general? What do people use for Multipathing? Can we use PowerPath? Does anyone use SAN Manager in DFM? How does a 3050c compare to a CX700 in the FC realm? Sorry for all of the questions but we just don't know anything about them on the FC side. Thanks for the input (both negative and positive). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/NetApp-FC-SAN---Experiences-t1474683.html#a3988715 Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters forum at Nabble.com.
I have read some files asking to convert a netcache into a filer. I would like to know if there is a procedure to do the opposed. I have not found documentation at all.
Is there anyone who converted a F720 into a C720? I already donladed the boot disks and the software.
Thanks in advance
