We've had mixed results (reliability-wise) with this combination of hardware and are now considering other options. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with the same formatter/transport pair connected to either an Emulex TC70000 controller or the SI SBI/CMI interfaces (or any other interfaces for that matter)? Thanks. - Mike Accetta
