I am working with a customer to configure a IBM p-570 that has dual
IBM 5716 (Emulex LP11000) cards connected to a Cisco director MDS9506
to a Hitachi USP100. The director (Cisco 9506) can see the card which
logs into the port in Fabric mode. I am able to create my alias and
put that into a new zone with out any problems. The issue I am having
is that the Hitachi can not discover the new WWN of the card I just
zoned out for it. The port on the Hitachi is set correctly (Point-to-
Point, Fabric Enable). I checked the ECN on the microcode CD to make
sure that this HBA, OS version and Switch is all supported and it is.

Any suggestions ?

I figured it out. The setting on the HBA's on the p570's were set to
AL (Arp-Loop). Had to go into smitty and change that. Also, on the
director I forced the port to be Fabric rather than FX. BTW, the
5716's are actually the Emulex LP10000 which are 2 GB cards. I had a
typo in my original posting.
