There was a mistake in my text - i mean any controller from ICP Vortex 
(And Intel controllers that are actualy ICP) will work.
When i was preparing RAID course for Intel corp. i was investigating 
this under almost all versions of ICP/Intel controllers. And in case the 
firmware version is the same -all controllers will function the same and 
STORCON will work just fine.

FC means Fibre Chanel. It have no sence for the system if the controller 
is FC or SATA or SCSI. For the system point of view RAID/Disc connection 
arhitecture is hidden.
