[rescue] fibre channel question

[Frank Van Damme]

Hello,

I am thinking about putting a beefy disk in my ultra5. This seems like a nice
one:

I have searched the web voor newbie docs about fibre channel stuff but I can't
figure out what kind of a controller I need for this thing.

>From the manual I read:

Table 4:      Link services supported
 Type of frame                          Link service

                                        Link Service Reject (LS_RJT)

I have little to no clue what it all means, so the question is: what kind of a
controller do I need for this hard disk :)

Thanks in advance. Also, if someone has something to read about putting fibre
channel stuff together, let me know.
