#fibrechannel — Public Fediverse posts

Today's adventures in #fibrechannel

I installed several flavors of Linux on my homemade SAN (if you can even call it that).

I was also able to get FreeBSD installed up to the point where it will load the bootloader over the network, but when starting the kernel the entire computer restarts.

I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Question!

Is there something like #BlueSCSI but for #fibrechannel emulation?

I have a SUN machine without drives that I need some storage for, attaching some pictures for good vibes

20 years of #FibreChannel! I was there… #SDC23

@shadowdancer @Azimech

#OmniOS is a really nice server oriented #Unix in my experience. I've never put it into production, but have it running on some decommed machines at work. It was surprisingly straightforward to expose ZFS datasets as #FibreChannel LUNS using COMSTAR. Havn't played much with Zones yet, but that seems cool too

#illumos

@arclight lol, quite the contrary. Never enough FC jokes!

#FibreChannel

My #fosstodon #introduction:

I’m a EE (communications / signal processing focus) by training, which I’ve been putting to use for quite a while now working on high-performance #MRI reconstructions at the Mayo Clinic in #rochestermn, using C++, #OpenMP and #MPI.

I use #FreeBSD and #ZFS anywhere I can, and manage to put in a little time maintaining a few #MacPorts packages that I use for the dayjob.

Previously worked on optical #FibreChannel and #Ethernet for #IBM and JDS Uniphase.
