Hi Managers, Would like to thank przemolicc for his reply; who suggested going to point to point mode after getting the switch. My intention was to "insert" the switch in transparently later so that I wouldn't have to worry about card configuration at that point. I tried connecting the hba to a Compaq San Switch 8 (brocade 2400), the card showed up as a L port I tried connecting the storage (set to point to point mode) to this switch, and it couldn't do a proper fabric login. This switch works fine in a full fabric config with Compaq HSG80 controllers. I might need a Sun branded switch to make that happen. Eventually I just went back to loop mode; probably I'll cross the bridge when I reach it. Best regards Jeffrey Original Question follows.
