Hello,

Perhaps what I'm planing to do is not very "legal" but it seems I have no chance :( I've got EMC disk array which recently I was able to connect using QLogic FC card to my server. However I can only use one PATH from my server to EMC so natural failover which comes with EMC can't be achieved. EMC AX 150 has 2 FC controllers where every contains 2 FC channel. So basically I could use 2 servers connected directly to two different controllers or even use SAN but.... not with Debian :(

EMC has PowerPath software but it's binary version including kernel modules - which is the BIGGEST problem I found. They are compiled for RHEL or SUSE so can't be used on others distros. But ... this idea came to my mind today and I what to ask you if this is possible at all?

Can I build/create debian-installer based on redhat kernel which is dedicated for EMC PowerPath? I mean .... I'd like to use BINARY version of this kernel with all external modules which come with EMC and prepare debian-installer with such kernel.

Has anyone tried something like this ever?

Regards,
Marcin
