#FibreChannel
hey I like fibrechannel, most of my stuff is fiberchannel, it's cute

the hardest thing about shopping online for used enterprise storage equipment is that you have to make sure to not accidentally buy a FibreChannel thing by accident

I'm surely not going to regret using 14 year old hard drives that spent their working lives spinning at 15k RPM

(On a related note: This is an 8GBit FC shelve in spite of its age, it's always interesting to me how FC never really caught on outside of datacenters for NAS stuff - it was sooo fast)

Things have escalated. Cobbled together some RAM for the second dx360 M3, added the fibrechannel JBOD I got for free but never used because it's LOUD AS HELL and dusted off a neat but old 1GB managed switch. Party like it's 2009 baby, with a makeshift rack and the sound of a jet engine.

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

:sun: :solaris:

Some cables used for ethernet can be used for other networking technologies as well. For instance, many SFP modules can be used for either Fibrechannel SANs or ethernet.

Basically just 2 or 3 of the same, and it mostly boils down to "ethernet != BASE-T(X)", and "you don't technically have to put IP on ethernet for it to be wired"

Like, you can do IP over Infiniband (RFC-4391) or IP over Fibrechannel (RFC-4338) and it's still wired, just not Ethernet.

Nobody does SAN anymore, NAS is the future. Just do Proxmox and TruNAS for homelab stuff. Unless you need NVMEoF speeds for something (in a homelab??) there's no need for fancy ass shit like BeeGFS, GPFS, or one of the expensive enterprise solutions, and FibreChannel is a dead/dying tech.

viel Erfolg! Willkommen in meiner Branche. In jedem Jahrzehnt gab es einen Vorwand, den Leitungsweg freigeschaltet zu bekommen, von irgendwelchen lokalen Einrichtungen, Telex, Fax, FibreChannel, lass Dich nicht mit einer Nebenstelle abspeisen. Dranbleiben:-)

Zumal mein Team unseren Kernel testet. Aber so arg viel verschiedene Hardware haben wir dafür nicht. Bisschen Intel, bisschen AMD, einen arm-Server. FibreChannel, NetApp, InfiniBand und sowas

How not to make friend in a data centre. That's mostly FibreChannel. The ethernet switch is bare visible below.
