As I said, it technically worked for AIX.

Here are my notes from IBM's web site . . .which BTW, I can't find anymore.
The was ALL I could ever find on setting this up.   What it doesn't
describe and is necessary, is that you have to put IP on the SAN switches.

  rsfebkup4p:/tsmdata/tsm_scripts/san==>./run_cmd.ksh fab11-10 ipaddrshow
  === run_cmd  fab11-10  ipaddrshow
    SWITCH
    Ethernet IP Address: 172.17.90.60
    Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
    Fibre Channel IP Address: none
    Fibre Channel Subnetmask: none
    Gateway IP Address: 172.17.90.2
    DHCP: Off

==============================================

IP over FC

IP over Fibre Channel is now available for AIX 5.2 at the following
fileset levels:

devices.common.IBM.fc.rte 5.2.0.30
devices.pci.df1000f7.com 5.2.0.30
devices.pci.df1000f7.rte 5.2.0.30

After rebooting to activate the updates, you should find a new fcnetX
device associated with each Fibre Channel adapter:

# lsdev -Cc driver
fcnet0 Defined 44-08-02 Fibre Channel Network Protocol Device

IP over FC is not activated by default. To configure an fcnetX device to
come Available at boot/cfgmgr:

smitty dev
--> FC Adapter
--> FC Network Protocol Device
--> Enable a FC Network Device
--> fcs0

NOTE: You will need to repeat this step any time you delete the fcnetX
device.

Now the fcnetX device will come Available and a TCP/IP interace will be
created when cfgmgr runs:

# lsdev -Cc driver
fcnet0 Defined 44-08-02 Fibre Channel Network Protocol Device

# cfgmgr

# lsdev -Cc driver
fcnet0 Available 44-08-02 Fibre Channel Network Protocol Device

# lsdev -Cc if
fc0 Defined 44-08-02 Fibre Channel Network Interface

An FC interface can be configured like any other IP interface:
# smitty chinet
--> fc0
This is an IPv4 only implementation. There is no industry standard

That's a wonderful solution, Richard. I loved that.
