<< Apparently, Sun will require Arbitrated Loop support. Based on feedback from Interop, right now, Ancor and Arcxel are the only companies with Fibre Channel switches that support Arbitrated Loop, although Brocade is undoubtedly not far behind. >> Craig, It is important to mention Public Loop (which means AL on a switch, I believe). I believe that Arcxel does not have Public Loop, but something called 'Stealth mode'. It confused me bc they do have FC-AL. Perhaps, someone can clarify. Large oems like HP and Sun and others will need Public Loop, in my opinion. ALL IMHO pigboy
