Mattie: It was a test for HBA's. See my post to Clint for the link. The hardware used in the test was: "As for the hardware, we had, dare we say, an eclectic environment: Our storage JBODs comprised two Eurologic Systems SANbloc 2100s 2-Gbps Fibre Channel dual-loop optical JBOD enclosures; 28 36-GB, 10,000-rpm Seagate Technology Cheetahs with four 2-Gbps Fibre Channel drives; one IBM ProFibre storage array JBOD DF4000J; 36-GB, 10,000-rpm Seagate Cheetahs with 15 2-Gbps Fibre Channel drives. We also used two gigabit Fibre Channel switches, a Vixel Corp. 9000 Series 16-port switch, a Gadzoox Networks SlingShot 4218 18-port switch and a QLogic Corp. SANbox2 16-port switch. Our base server system comprised a Compaq ProLiant DL580 server with four 700-MHz Xeon Pentium III processors, 1 GB of memory and two 64-bit 66-MHz slots. It ran Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP2." My understannding is BRCD did not have a 2 gig switch ready (I assume inrange and mcdata are only 64 port not 16). For some reason they did not have the zoox switch long enough so they used the vixel (didn't use qlgc since qlgc produces hba's).
