Hello gurus,
I have a Sun E3500 with four SBus I/O boards. Each has two FC-AL adaptors
with the slot for a GBIC. One of those is in use for the internal hard
drives.
We are planning on buying an external 3rd party FCAL disk array. Since
Sun's GBIC is expensive ($360) we're looking at 3rd party options.
One of those is the GBC-3000 from CS Electronics
(http://www.scsi-cables.com/gbic-mia.htm) which is $175. We have done
business with that company in the past for SCSI adaptors and were always
very happy with the quality, but fibre channel is still new to us.
So, the questions are:
- Is there any reason for it not to work ?
- Is there any difference between a FCAL GBIC and a Gig Ethernet GBIC ?
Thanks.
