Help with HP MSA 1500cs and DL380

[Brad Miele <bmiele@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Recently, my company moved my storage from 4 HP MSA30 scsi shelves (2 per 
machine mirrored) to two HP MSA 1500cs SAN devices. I have moved the MSA30 
shelves into the SAN, and also have 4 (2 per msa1500cs) MSA20 SATA 
shelves.

I am running into more then a few issues getting these units, 
particularily the MSA20s happy, HP is giving me a hard time because 
freebsd is not a supported OS, and i am sort of lost and looking for 
resources specific to this setup. I can go into further details of the 
issues that I am experiencing, but since this is slightly OT for this list 
i just thought i would throw a flag out there and see if anyone can offer 
advice.

my setups are two identical dl380 machines running 5.4-Stable from Aug. 4. 
I am using the HP OEM Qlogic 2313 fiber card which uses the isp driver. 
each machine is attached to a msa1500cs with 4 shelves, 2 msa20 and two 
msa30.

really, any tips at all about where to find resources for a setup like 
this would be gratefully appreciated.

Brad
