anomiagrunge, then HBA and HCA do different things? (HBA connects server to storage, and HCA connect server to another server?)

meyersd, if the storage array (For example DS8300) supported Infiniband, can you then do away with HBA and just operate out of HCA for the server connected to the storage system?
