Hi!  I have a question directed to those people who either are knowledgeable
with the Sun StorEdge A5000 line or have had some real hands-on experience
with them.

Can anyone answer the following questions:

(1) any gotchas that I should be aware of using the A5200 under the following
configuration mix: Solaris 2.6/Sun E6500, FC-AL loops (1 or 2 A5200 with 4 or
8 hubs), Sun Volume Manager 2.6 and Oracle 8.0.5.

(2) Scenario: Host machines is connected to a A5200 with 6 trays connected to
two 7-port hubs with single FC-AL loop.  What happens if one were to add 2
more hubs? Question: Need to reconfigure all the FC-AL loops if I added more
hubs to the picture?  If so, what exact configuration steps?  What are the
ramifications?

(3) Scenario: Attach an additional A5200 to a host machine that already has
an A5200 attached.  What are the ramifications in terms of configuration
steps? Question: Need to reconfigure all the FC-AL loops if I added new A5200
into the picture?  If so, what exact configuration steps?  What are the
ramifications?

Please respond directly to jlim@tesent.com.

Thank you in advance.
