Thanks to the following for there quick replies. Michael Kalus Daniel Weigert Gary Losito Craig Leikis Johan Hartzen Fredrik Robertsson Mike DeMarco Cyril Plisko Andrew McVey Richard Place Many of them told me that the Sun cards do not support fabric connections. While this is true of the ISP2100 card, the new ISP2200 card which I am using does support fabric connections as well as loops. Andrew McVey reminded me to use the switchshow command on the Brocade switches and it will tell you what type of connection is being made. The switches do show a fabric connection so my problem is not with the HBA cards as I had expected. My original problem of not seeing the LUNs from the server has not been fixed yet. Several of you also mentioned the sd.conf file which has also been configured per Hitachi specs. If anyone has any additional ideas I would be very grateful. Thanks again. ----- Kevin Van Der Hart Systems Administrator Vermeer Mfg Co Original Message: >Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 15:55:44 -0600 >To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org >From: Kevin Van Der Hart <unix@vermeermfg.com> >Subject: Fiber Channel HBAs in a SAN Fabric > >I have 2 V880 servers, fully patched, attached to 4 Hitachi Thunder 9200's >through a couple of Brocade Silkworm 2400 SAN switches.
