Good for a HP Shop
The book is good for learning about SAN if you know nothing about it right now. But it has a lot of HP product marketing in it. It is also quite theoretical for example, does not tell me anything about cost of implementing a SAN.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Nice introduction for beginners
This book has a nice overview and is certainly interesting if you never had to do with SANs before. Like its predecessor, FibrChannel for Mass Storage, the book is VERY HP oriented and most useful if you live in an HP farm. Otherwise, I'd recommend the Clarks Book as well.

Good entry level book, look elsewhere if your experienced
If you have never spent much time with SANS this is a good place to start. Gives good explainations on why SANs are used and the various alternatives. The HP slant is a little bothersome without information on competitive comparisons. Illustrations are so-so, but suffice. Gives some history of storage, explainations on Fibre Channel, and insite into SANs. Again, if you have exposure to this stuff it will be mostly review. The book by Clark is probably just as good and half the price.
