I've just built a freeNAS server on a HP DL 360 G4p, and would like it basically just to serve cifs and AFP shares. I have an old EMC cx300 san that's not in production anymore that I'd like to use for storage to the freeNas box, but it's a fiber channel san. My HBAs that I have are Emulex LP10000E. So, I threw it together seeing what would happen (installing it to a USB drive on the server), and of course it doesn't see the HBA. So, after reading some posts, it sounds like emulex HBAs aren't supported? I see posts where people say to check the HCL for FreeBSD, which I did and from what I could tell it didn't look like Emulex was on there.
But, I was wondering IF anyone did happen to get a setup like this to work by any chance. If not, would I have any better luck with openfiler? From the little bit I've read about that so far, it seems that FreeNas might be a little better solution and easier to use, so that's why I'd like to keep trying with that.
Thanks for any comments!
