Mark,
How about you put the Huge on the fibre switch and zone it so only that client cans see it (as well as the XSAN storage ports)?
I am not sure I would do this, but it means you can still use the Apple approved LSI card. Alternatively have a chat to LSI and see if there is a 4-port LSI card that is the "same" as the one they OEM to Apple.

Hi folks,
Little issue. I have a Apple Quad G5 with all PCIe slots (4) filled up.
2 are in use with a necessary video card
1 is in use with the AJA Kona 3
1 is in use with the Apple Fibre HBA
The problem is we just bought a Huge System storage unit for direct attach and it is also fibre, dual channel (Huge 4210). We also bought an ATTO Dual 4gig Fibre Channel card to go with it. Problem is, there is no room for it in the computer. So, ATTO makes a 4 channel card that could attach to the Huge Storage and to the Apple XSAN storage. Does this raise in red flags, functionally? Would it work? Does it reduce bandwidth?
