Hello,

i got a cheap used RA4100 SAN Array from Compaq, with a Compaq Fibre Channel
Switch and a Compaq Fibre Channel Controller. Now I wanted to access the SAN
Array with my server, with is actually NOT from Compaq, but from Maxdata
(German hardware manufacturer), based on standard Intel server components.

My problem: i cannot access the SAN. I've drivers for the card, the SAN is
found by the system, but i didn't find it e.g. at the drive manager of
Windoes 2000 Server.

Can anyone tell me, what I need to access the SAN? Do I have to use a Compaq
Server with this Smart Start Tools? Or have I to use a Windows Advanced
Server system? Or... Or... Or...? Just a little tip, that i can go on?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Markus Mildenberger
