Hello folks, I would like to thank Aaron Lineberger, Victor Harrison and others for pointing me to the right direction. When I had initially sent this mail, I had failed to specify exactly which HBA card I was using. Well, the card I had was a Qlogic 2100F/66 HBA San Card. Qlogic QLA2100F which doesn't support Fabric Mode...which is why this wasn't working. After a "very" exhaustive research, I've found that the T3 array always talks loop mode (which a switch can handle properly), but more importantly it's the HBA card which needs to talk Fabric Mode (or connect on the F_Port in order for proper switch Fabric zoning to work). However, the Qlogic 2100F Card in the Netra T1 cannot do Fabric Mode...only Loop mode which is why this is not working. However, the Qlogic 2100F Card in the Netra T1 cannot do Fabric Mode...only Loop mode which is why this is not working. After the switch firmware upgrade, I now can enable Quick Loop which should allow me to connect these two devices. But, sadly, I need a license key for Quick Loop. As this product is End-Of-Life...there is no key ;-) . The only keys installed on the switch are for Fabric mode So, the Solution (I chose #1, #2 is an alternative): 1) Replace the HBA card with one that does do Fabric mode via SAN...In my case a Qlogic 2200F PCI Card. Once I put this in...everything started working. The card cost me an extra $40 on ebay and it works like a charm.. dmesg: ....

This should get around the problem as it would do L_port rather than a Fabric port/mode. Thanks again everyone.
