Fibre Hba
I want to share folders on a PC that has it hard disks connected via a Fibre HBA, for access from the copper.?
I am basically using this PC as a gateway to the SAN (fibre) as it has an HBA and a standard Gigabit ethernet NIC on it. The PC has bit-level access to drives on the SAN. When I share these in Windows, for access from the copper network, what kind of load is going to be put on the machine? It's not accessing anything from its own system disks, it's just passing data through it.
it sounds like you're setting up a file server. the act of sharing out folders/docs in and of itself doesn't put a load on the machine. it's no different than sharing out stuff from the local drive. it's just a matter of a configuration change in the os. however, anything that would be using the cpu's & memory is what would create the load. such as resource-intensive applications and/or services running in the background. also, if you're going to be having a large number of end-users accessing the files being shared, that can also put a load on the system. especially, if it's being accessed all at the same time. if the nic(s) on that server aren't beefy enough, they'll be relying on the cpu's much more to process the network traffic. if you want to get an idea, copy a large number of files over the network to & from that file server. then, while it's copying, use the os's performance monitoring utility to see how much of the cpu & memory that task is eating up.
