Vista - Using SAN box

Using SAN box

We have OLD HP hardware with HBA cards link to a san box..

Recently we bought some new HP hardware and the old hba card cannot slot
onto the new HP's mother board.

Our objective is to re-use the old san box and moving the old hba card to
the new HP servers.

Questions:

1. Using the OLD hardware with hba card, we can access the SAN box, LUN. Is
there a tool (or microsoft iscsi initiator software) that can be installed
onto the new HP hardware and then points to the OLD HP server (that can see
the SAN LUN) ?

none of this relates to Virtual Server, why not try a newsgroup or
forum specifically for this? HP support?

Re: Using SAN box

Besides, I tend to ignore anything from unidentified generic names. And, as
you say, when it's not really a virtualization question, I definitely do.

Re: Using SAN box

Sorry guys. I thought SAN BOX is always part of virtualisation hardware.
