Suse 10.1 and QLogic SAN problems 2749
Hi, I'm trying to make a decision whether I should use zip or tar.gz for my backup solution. Traditionally, the tar.gz is easier to deal with on a linux system, since it's 'native', but...
Sorry, not enough info. The san itself is an EMC, which has its own switch. It is being used by a lot of machines with no problems. These are all windows systems however. Regardless, I think the san itself is configured correctly.

So this seems to suggest that the san is sg2? Honestly Im in over my head with this. I know linux but Im not an admin, Im a software engineer. I just know more about linux than anyone here (sad but true) and our IT manager just got fired.
If the san is sg2, how do I mount the thing? Ive tried everything I can think of.
Thanks for your help.
