What is SPIFFI
in [Storage]

From: Siddhartha Jain on 9 Jan 2006 01:42 What is SPIFFI and what is its relation to storage system? When I start Qlogic's SANSurfer Pro HBA management software, its gives me a warning that the attached device (an IBM DS4300) is non-SPIFFI compliant. Product documentation doesn't throw much light on it. - Siddhartha

Good luck! Cordially, John Turco <jtur(a)concentric.net>

The IBM tech rep I contacted hadn't ever heard of the SPIFFI jargon!! Even I am trying the setup on QLogic's QLA2340 HBAs in failover mode. - Siddhartha
