Hi Guys,
I'm about to start with getting my hands on with ESXi/San
What I currently have is
2x
HP Proliant DL360 G5 Server Dual Core 5160 2x3.0GHz 16GB 4x73GB 10K 2.5" P400i
1x
Dell/EMC Clariion CX200 CX Hard Drive Storage Array FC Fiber Channel SAN 180GB
(4 drives installed )
1x
Brocade EMC 3850 DS-16B3 16 Port 2Gb FC SAN Switch
Is this stuff all compatible with each other ?
I guess I need FC cards for the servers 2 cards
Some FC cables ?
Anything else.
Thank;s in advance.

Probably that could help you - Introducing SimSANs v4
It is not about your hardware, but this is a simulation tool for SAN. -

As long as your HP server has a FC HBA that will run at 2Gbps, you should be fine.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
