I have a similar setup, and I purchased a cx700 from ebay, however it did not come with any vault drives... I have a 15 drive DAE full of 300gig drives, but no way to use them because I cannot get the FLARE code. I have searched for weeks to try to get it with no success. So as of right now I have a 200lb paper weight in my rack... Any ideas on where I could get ahold of the FLARE code? Thanks!

I have been looking into putting together a full fiber channel home lab with a server/workstation with a Fiber channel HBA, a fiber channel switch, and storage array. Would you recommend the best route to find the best deal on ebay or another reseller to accomplish this. Thanks in advance Hi Chris i have a question.

You'll need a friend who works for Netapp (or is a customer) as the simulator isn't publicly available. I've said it before, but just to emphasise, the simulator is superb. CLARiiON is more difficult. You can find used hardware on Ebay that will get you going. Let me know how you get on. Chris Bobby
