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.

Hello, Siddhartha:

This Hewlett-Packard <http://www.hp.com> Web page discusses SPIFFI:

IT Resource Forums - HSG60 and Qlogic QLA2340
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=914789

Here's a quote from it:

"SPIFFI stands for 'Specification for Platform-Independent Failover and
Failback Integration' and I think Qlogic has invented this thing."

Good luck!


Cordially,

Thanks a lot for the pointer John. 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.
