Re: First commercial deployment of aurora?

There are a couple people lurking around here that have done an e5k, 
myself included.  I didn't try real hard and had some problems, but 
others have gotten it to work better than I.

I would question what he's using to interface with that disk array, I 
can't remember if the a5000 is fiber or not, but it could be tricky if 
it is.

oops, I see this is devel.  There are a couple people in users that have 
run it on a e5k.
