Hardware:
- IBM BladeCenter H
- HS22V and HX5 blades with Brocade 2 port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter, no local drives
- IBM Storwize V7000
At the time of writing the Brocade 2 port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter for IBM BladeCenter (81Y1650) is supported on VMware ESXi up to version 4.1.
To install VMware on the blades, a custom VMware ESXi 4.1 ISO image with Brocade CNA drivers is required.

RHEL 6.1 / Scientific Linux 6.1 dmesg:
TECH PREVIEW: fscache may not be fully supported.
Please review provided documentation for limitations.
FS-Cache: Loaded
FS-Cache: Netfs 'nfs' registered for caching
Excerpt from RHEL 6.1 Technical Notes, Chapter 3. Technology Previews:
FS-Cache
FS-Cache is a new feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 that enables networked file systems (e.g. NFS) to have a persistent cache of data on the client machine.
… and nothing about the limitations or how to disable fscache.
Tried to add install fscache /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/fscache.conf with the following dmesg result (of course, no NFS filesystems mounted):
nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_read_or_alloc_pages
nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_relinquish_cookie

You can use the object file displaying tool – otool. The ldd equivalent otool parameter is -L:
-L print shared libraries used
Example:
$ otool -L ~/bin/wget
/Users/cbredi/bin/wget:
/usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.1)
If you do not have the otool command, make sure Xcode is properly installed.
