Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience in configuring a cascaded ficon fabric over a long distance network (supported by USD-x channel extenders).
We are in the process of configuring (or trying to configure) the director (6140) at the remote site, but the link is not fully established at this time. My question is primarily around configuring zones and zonesets - at this stage the two switches appear (obviously) in completely separate zones. Which is fine. But all of the config guides show multiple switches and zones available via a single management interface. Again, that is fine. But, is there anything we need to do (or anything we can do) on the director side PRIOR to finalising the connections between the switch that will enable us to see both switches (and therefore zone configurations) from the one management interface when the link is up? Or, will the two directors 'magically' appear to the one management interfaces as soon as we can establish the connection? I guess my concern is that when the link is finalised, and therefore the connection between the two directors established, I will still be unable to see both directors and I will therefore still be unable to establish my fabric...all of the documentation I am reading (RedBook, McData Docco) shows both of the directors appearing and I am a little unsure if there are extra actions that need to be completed before this can be achieved. Mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
