Unfortunately the zfcp driver in RHEL4.6 doesn't support Point-to-Point configurations. The driver that comes with RHEL5, SLES9 and SLES10 does work with Point-to-Point configurations. So you would either need to connect to the DS8100 via an FCP switch or upgrade/change your distro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
