Thanks, trunk has been disabled now on both ports going to my controllers – I also did disable and enable the port afterwards on the Brocade, still no change.

My port seems to be a U_PORT by default, according to portshow:

 

CNX011:admin> portshow 0

portIndex:   0

portName:

portHealth: OFFLINE

 

Authentication: None

portDisableReason: None

portCFlags: 0x1

portFlags: 0x41  PRESENT U_PORT

 

To configure an N_PORT, I would need to change the switchmode to access gateway mode which is probably not what I want I guess – cannot find config commands that would allow me to force this port into F_MODE.

 

I’ve connected a client host already to the same switch and this one came up immediately with the following config:

 

CNX011:admin> portshow 2

portIndex:   2

portName:

portHealth: HEALTHY

 

Authentication: None

portDisableReason: None

portCFlags: 0x1

Betreff: Re: FCP Ports operational down

 

I'm not too familiar with Brocades -- we have Cisco -- but the first thing that caught my eye was trunk port being enabled.  I don't think you want that, especially also for NPIV.  You need an F port or an N port, not an E port.

 

E ports are expansion ports, for ISL (inter-switch linking), and connect two switches together.

F ports are fabric ports, and are used for point-to-point connections (hosts, storage systems, etc).

N ports are node ports, similar to F ports, used for point-to-point or switched fabrics.

 

For you, Fx or G port types should also work, and I think Brocades have U ports too, but I'm not too familiar.

Hi there,

 

I’m having a hard time currently connecting my new FAS8020 to our existing fabric – the FCP ports just won‘t get online and I’m not sure where exactly the problem is and how to debug that since I’m more the NAS guy not having much practical experience with FCP configurations, so here’s the deal for all of you who are wanting to help.

FCP Adater on NetApp:

 

                  Node: jetfire

               Adapter: 1b

           Description: Fibre Channel Target Adapter 1b (QLogic 8324 (8362), rev. 2, 16G)

     Physical Protocol: fibre-channel

         Maximum Speed: 16

                Status: link not connected

             Substatus: ADAPTER UP

     Host Port Address: 0

     Firmware Revision: 6.10.0

Data Link Rate (Gbit): 0

    Fabric Established: false

Connection Established: loop

             Mediatype: ptp

      Configured Speed: 4

      Configured State: up

           Switch Port: :

 

 

AFAIK, the 16Gbit/s adapter should be backwards compatible to 4Gbit/s, our switch only has 4Gbit/s but it supports NPIV which seems to be a requirement for running Clustered Data Ontap via FC.

 

So, I have no idea what information I should provide upfront for someone who’s wanting to help me through get through that, but I’m more than happy to send more info when requested.

 

Thanks,
