I am trying to install the entire OS on a SAN which is connected through a
qlogic fiber card (qla2302f). When I go through the install it detects
the fiber card and installs the drivers. Everything looks good till it is
time to format the disk and then I get I/O errors. It is like it can see
the SAN but it can 't see the disk in the SAN. Each SAN unit has 1
terabyte of space so there are other things on this SAN used by other
computers. I installed win2000 onto the SAN no problem. I can install
redhat on an enternal disk then load the driver and attach to the SAN no
problem. The reason I would rather install on the SAN is because the
read/writes are about 10x faster than a standard internal SCSI disk.
