Hi Managers,

Thanks to all that responded. The concensus is that this will work fine without any problems.

There are a couple of things to watch out for:
Be careful with the zoning of the SAN switches and volume access. (Thanks to Omer Uyar).
Don't duplicate IDENTIFIERS between the controllers. (Thanks to Kevin Raubenolt).

On the zoning front, our vendor has recommended having two separate zones, one for the HSG80 and the servers, one for the EVA5000 and the servers.

Regards,

Rob
