Hello everyone. I have a bit of a problem, here's my situation:
In an effort to set up a centralized storage for my network, I managed to purchase a xyratex 4u 48 slot SAS enclosure P/N: RS-4835 (massive overkill maybe but it was a steal at $110). I have picked myself a couple of old fibre channel cards, but haven't got a clue as to what software I may or do need on the head end in order to get the storage up and running.
I plan on using the storage to back up and store all LAN data as well as recorded HD shows and DVD's.
Any advice is greatly appreciated with regards to the set-up of this thing... I'm just a little lost :-S
