http://forums.opensuse.org – I am using a QLA2462 and have got FC storage attached through a brocade switch. As soon when I add more storage for this server on this switch my device naming shifts and this new storage comes in between e.g. as sdb, and the other 2 go to sdc and sdd. I looked around but I can't find a good solution for SuSe 11.2. Has somebody got an good example of a udev rule for me? (Distributions)

I'm a noob and is working on a video sharing type of site. Would using network attached storage's devices be a good or bad idea, then later upgrade to a SAN. So a user uploads, it goes on the network disk(s), then a encoder copies to to local, encodes and then copy them back to the NAS for the streaming Machines to serve up.

Would it be a good or bad idea?

I'm proposing this to be a canonical question about enterprise-level Storage Area Networks.

What is a Storage Area Network (SAN), and how does it work? How is it different from a Network Attached Storage (NAS)? What are the use cases compared to direct-attached storage (DAS)? In which way is it better or worse? Why is it so expensive? Should I (or my company) use one?

Hello folks, I have an AIX server that is connected to a storage array via a Brocade switch using 4 ports from either side. The zoning is done such that there are 4 paths visible from the server to the storage.

My work involves frequent disabling or enabling the switch ports that are connected to the server.

If there ever was a “sure thing” in technology, storage is it. Everyone needs it, and the more data a company creates, the more storage it needs. And while the cloud is good for storage of large data sets, sometimes a company needs storage that is portable and instantly accessible. Enter Imation and its RDX line of removable hard disk storage.

I am looking for a raid storage device that can hold minimum 8 hdd's with ZFS RaidZ to store the data redundant without the need of drives of the same size etc. The software is not a problem, I just don't find the perfect hardware to realize this.
