I know that the QLogic HBAs have built-in Multipathing support with enabled drivers (these should be availible from IBM or QLogic). This would prevent you from configuring Multipathing on OS level, thus making everything a bit easier. This I would recommend. |

Im using QLogic HBAs with HP BL and DL Servers and they work fine under linux. |

With IBM HBAs I have no experience. They might work as well or even better. |

It will be an IBM x346, but we are not sure about the HBAs. We can |
| 30 |
choose between IBM Total Storage DS4000 or with Qlogig HBAs. Any |
| 31 |
Suggestions? |
