FYI,

Per Veritas HCL for Veritas Storage Solution (another EMC subsidary):

McData ED6064 Switch = EMC ED64M = HP StorageWorks SAN Directory 2/64 = HP SureStore FC 64

So, the NetApp-McData compatibility listing will apply.

Hope this helps out.

try to talk about this issue to your sale represent. Netapp is continuouslly integrating compatibility w/ different SAN product. Your case may reflect a general and/or help netapp in his work.

Hi,

We're currently looking at replacing our F820 with a FAS270. We'd like to take advantage of the library(ADIC Scalar 10K) we already have attached to our backup SAN. Unfortunately the SAN is based around EMC Connectrix switches(ED-64M). Not something NetApp seem to support. No surprise there really :)

Just wondering if anyone is successfully using a FC backup solution that makes use of non-supported FC switches, and if so what the vendor is.
