Does anyone know if DPM will see an external sata II enclosure using an 
 
Infiniband connection. 
 
Similar to the following with a proper card:

DPM does not manage disks/LUNs per se - it relies on the OS to present them. 
 
So, yes there are IB drivers for Windows and so long as the enclosure 
 
appears to Disk Manager, DPM will be fine. 
 
IB isn't used much in this scenario mostly b/c cost is a bit high - the 
 
latency of iSCSI on Ethernet (or FC) is typically well within the acceptable 
 
limits.
