Hello Carlos, Make sure the chipid is defined as type FCP. Connect the chipid to the switch. Looking in the switch do you see the 50050764........ wwpn of the chipid logging into the switch? If not, check to make sure you are using the same type of adapters. If the chipid is a long wave LX adapter your switch much have a matching LX GBIC card. If your using a short wave SX chipid, make sure the switch GBIC card is also SX. Do the lights on the switch's GBIC adapter say there is a good connection with the switch? If your switch guy can see the 50050764............ wwpn logged into the switch, does he also see the 50050763............ wwpn of the shark in the same zone? If not, again make sure that both ends of the switch and shark are LX or SX. In my F20 sharks the WWPN of the chipids do not display, I had to manually configure and enter the 16 digit 50050764......... wwpn of each chipid that was going to access the shark. I don't have any experience with the ESS800 so can't help you much there. Here's a presentation that may help.
