I looking into possibly using the IBM Enterprise Storage Servers
for a large iSeries installation. V5R1 and Fibre attachment appears
to make this a resonable thing to do. Does anyone on this list
have any experience with this technology? Any good news?
Anything to look out for? Is there anyone that is actually
planning to use storage area network disks?

I am interested in your info, on this list or off...
