0xfffcXX is Brocade switch embedded port DID (XX is switch domain number). 2x:xx:00:05:1e:xx:xx:xx is Brocade switch port WWN. Switch by default actively probes attached devices to obtain name server information. It is using above DID and PWWN 21:fd:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (I did not find this PWWN to be explicitly documented though).

Subject: > fcp start ... shows logins from hosts I don't have zoned

 

I'm setting up a new FAS2240 with a Dual FC card. 

- both ports are target adapters

- each port is cabled to a separate brocade switch

- a Solaris server with 2 fiber cards are cabled, one to each switch

Basically there are two separate paths to the Filer from the server through two Brocade switches.

Where I'm confused is when I start Fiber channel services on the filer, the adapters come online, the links come up, but then there are two logins for each adapter.  One of the logins on each adapter are from my server, networker. 

Can anyone tell me what the second login on each adapter is from.  I'm fairly certain it's not an outside system.
