For FCP/iSCSI/NFS it should be fully transparent (of course there are other considerations like PAM rewarming).</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:17:52 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/3140-and-FCP/m-p/52492#M4827 aborzenkov 2011-12-13T16:17:52Z Re: 3140 and FCP https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/3140-and-FCP/m-p/52499#M4828 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the reply.&nbsp; I have a big NAS deployment that runs on the other head so I guess I'll need to schedule some downtime when I unhinge that one.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:01:32 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/3140-and-FCP/m-p/52499#M4828 DANTHEMAN 2011-12-13T17:01:32Z
