Off-topic - Hardware recommendation

["Benjamin Krajmalnik" <kraj(at)illumen(dot)com>]

I apologize for the slightly off-topic question.

I will be building a new PostgreSQL server running 8.4 on FreeBSD 7.2
64-bit.

The nature of the application dictates that we use shared storage to
provide high availability (in case one of the servers has a failure).

After doing some research in the various lists, it is apparent that an
iSCSI SAN is NOT the way to fo, so we are looking at getting a Fibre
Channel SAN (a Hitachi).

My question deals more than anything on the Fibre Channel host adapter -
is anyone using a Finre Channel adapter on FreeBSD which they can
recommend?

My biggest concern is to get one that is definitely supported.

 

TIA,

 

Benjamin
