supported disk arrays; basic design

[aghazi]

Hi,

Could any one please send me a list of cisco supported storage array devices from HP, EMC and HDS.

I've started to read on cisco storage solutions, and according to my understanding these are the different components of iSCSI solution:

1. iSCSI driver

2. existing GigE LAN Switched network

3. Cisco 5428 storage router

4. Non-Cisco (HP, EMC) Disk Arrays

please let me know if if i missed out anything or if this is a valid design.

Server(iSCSI driver)--GigE-IP-network---SN4528--HP

thanks,

Ahmer Ghazi

Your text topology is exactly what the 5428 is made for. The interoperability matrix for the 5428 can be found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/ps4159/ps2160/products_tech_note09186a0080188e36.shtml
