[sf-lug] i got a SAN and need a fibre channel interface to configure it

[Jason Turner]

Hello List,

Jim's description of this gift in the thread below.  Support at LSI 
Logic has informed us that we'll need to connect to the box via one of 
its fibre channel interfaces in order to configure it(using their 
SANtricity software or perhaps something that speaks the same 
"language").  All hope of being able to quickly configure this thing 
thru access via its ethernet port(s) has been dashed.

SO, if anyone out there might be able to help turn this paper weight 
into something more helpful, please let us know.  Thanks.
