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.

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,
