Fibre Channel Howto Guide?

Hi, I am new to Fibre Channel and I am having problems. I cannot get my v210's to see the fc 3510 array. The disks on the array show up on the switch fabric as Sun and wwpn numbers. The v210 is connected to the FC Switch (cisco 5428) but when I do a luxadm probe no array is seen. Similarly format shows only the local disk on the system.

I can see the qlogic HBA card and its associated driver on the v210 and I am at a loss what to do next. I need to know how to configure the HBA and Im guessing I have to add it to the Zone. So I wondered if some one could explain zones or tell me where I can find documentation to help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

What rev of the OS? Have you read the FC docs?

Solaris 8 but we want to upgrade to Solaris 9.

I dont have FC documentation available - Do you know where I can find some? thats why I registered here, otherwise I will have to buy a book or Go on an expensive course. Or there may be somewhere handy online, for free, that tells me what I need to know.? Howto guide?

Are you referring to documentation that may have come with the hba or something on the sun site.

Thanks for responding.

For Solaris 10 use: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0139For Soarlis 8 and 9 use the doc that comes with the SAN foundation kit.

Thanks,cfgadm -c configure c3seems to have helped. Still not sure what it means, but at least I am now moving forward and the v210 is seeing the devices on the array, all 6 of them!!Cheers.
