I don't have any direct experience with those switches, but I know FC switch zoning in general. Can that BladeCenter switch use both hard and soft zoning (port-based vs. WWN-based)? I would suggest soft zoning, because that is somewhat harder to screw up, IMHO.
I'm not familiar with qlremote, but I do have some small familiarity with Qlogic's SANsurfer utility for configuring your persistent bindings on Linux (mostly worked with RHEL so far, though, no SLES). I can probably help at least to some degree. Send me an email with some questions or let me know, and I might be able to help remotely. -Ben Pitzer On 8/5/06, Andrew Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Good morning. A while back, I started a thread to ask for help for fibre channel. It turns out that my problem was that I could not configure multipathing properly in SLES 10. The qlremote utility from Qlogic did not work in-band, plus I was deploying the root file system from fibre. Anyone good with configuring zoning on BladeCenter fibre switches or know where to find some docs for this? Someone suggested just yanking one of the fibre cables out of the switch, which I've done. This isn't a production environment :-P Supposedly, the Qlogic utilities are supposed to be replaced by md and friends, but I haven't seen much documentation on how to use them.
