Perhaps, yes, but... I had the confirmation last week : Debian is not supported in a SAN environment. They don't provide the Qlogic drivers and firmware. And for multipathing, the qlogic drivers they provide for RedHat handle the multipathing. Not the current open source ones (more recent, it needs multipath-tools). These things appart, I use Debian on my SAN (2xEVA4000 arrays), with multipath-tools (4 paths), mirroring with md (also not supported) between the EVAs (I don't want to pay for Continuous Access !) and redhat-cluster-suite for managing CLVM and failover resources resources. Only unsupported things, either by HP or RedHat (If I were using RedHat for the cluster suite)... Since then, I don't had any problems...
