Yes ... we have some penguins (9R2 RAC) connected to a HP EVA. We had some difficulties with installing. It was a new product (The EVA) from HP then and SecurePath (thats the software that chooses which path to take if you are connected with several fibre channel connections to the san) used 100% cpu when activated. We had to upgrade our Suse SEL server and also got a new driver version from HP (where the support for Linux was great actually). The system now is running with SecurePath for several months without any problems. Fast and reliable so far.
