Hardware 'dislodged' from HPE SAN during cable replacement

acheron

Was it the SAN, or was it a 3PAR storage array? Please PLEASE do not mix that up anymore... A Fileserver is not a LAN, and a storage array is nota SAN.

Australian Tax Office's HPE SAN failed twice in slightly different ways

Each time you call a storage array a SAN, a fairy dies somewhere. I guess...

Honestly, I don't get it. I never heard anybody call a fileserver a LAN. So why do people insist on this SAN-thing?? I know that FibreChannel, SAN and all that stuff scare a lot of people, but wtf?!?

We try to educate our server-guys here, and as soon we see a change for the better, BOOOM, they read stuff like this and we have to start all over...
