R: ONTAP as nfs client

I don't want to recall that you have always strange and really curious questions that cause me doubts about you skills but this last is really surprising.

First you speak about Sun Solaris NFS and now about EVA storage serving a SAN composed by W2K3 hosts...you have a lot of confusions between NAS and SAN, between o.s.native disk management and others...

If you want a 'seriuos' answer to you questions is that you cannot multiply apples with eggs :-)
But if you want to forget the EVA world there's a solution...very expensive!

Format you EVA storage as new, put a VFiler in front of it and use the HP LUNs as OnTAP disks...
;-)

Bye,

Very few, since I still don't understand your
problem. My literal interpretation is that you
want to use Data ONTAP to manage your hsv200.

I don't see how, if NetApp added an NFS client
this would allow you to manage the hsv200.
