[OmniOS-discuss] New SAN deployment HBA recommendations

[John Barfield]

We will definitely use the latest omnios after everything is ordered.

Are you suggesting that I buy a 9300 series or simply stating that we can move to that series soon in the future?

I am looking to start purchasing and building immediately. What is the release timeline for 151022?

    Ahh, okay.
    
    Everything HBA-wise in illumos-gate is already in OmniOS r151020.
    
    I was projecting forward for you, in case you were gauging future HW purchases (and the upcoming OmniOS r151022, which is ALSO our next LTS).
