Boot from FC SAN problem

Hi,

I have HP blade serwers with Adaptec SAN attached to it. Linux on
servers. The problem with booting from SAN is when one blade server
booted from SAN is working and second is booting, first is loosing
connection to it's storage. It looks like booting the other server breaks
frist server connection to SAN.
I did another test and booted a non-blade server from hdd and mounted SAN storge,
then I booted blade server from SAN. It was enough to reboot the hdd
booted server to brake SAN connection to blade server. Anybode seen
something like this? Any hints?
