Well, the install finally happened and I am happy to report that Fibre
Channel works very well with TruCluster and Oracle Parallel Server. The
limitations are:
- need 4.0F with all patches
- Compaq suggested method for propagating Fibre WWID-to-SCSI mapping does
not work (at least for me it didn't). I had to copy /sys/data/emx_data.c
from the first system to the second and build the kernel on the second
system again.
