I did before. Be aware they run FC-AL, not pure FC.

They have built in on-board buffers that handle the failover. We connected
them to a Shark via a Brocade dual-fabric SAN.

The biggest issue we had was the FC-AL issue. I have no comment other than
that.

Has anyone run FC connections using the Dynamic Path Failover features from
Cambex? We're looking at them, but we haven't heard much from users.
