Hi Ron, thanks again for the answer.

Sorry to be asking so many questions, I just don't know much about
fibre-channel and even less about switched fibre-channel.

So, is a world wide name a sort of alias that creates a tunnel through the
switch in this case?  Could I just pick, say SCSI-ID 2 and put in a line
that says
hba1-SCSI-target-id-2-fibre-channel-name="something"
and then as long as "something" points to the right thing it will work?  Or
does it have to be the right SCSI-ID?

One thing that's holding me back is not having any doco for the Qlogic card
(it was "borrowed" from another project) so thanks for pointing me at the
qla2200.conf file.

Another general Solaris question, is it safe to do "boot -r" before running
the add_drv commands?  I was told very early on to never do boot -r at all,
but I suspect this advice may have been a bit bogus.

We have JNI cards in the box as well (for connecting to EMC) so it gets
rather confusing!  (The box is an E4500 if that matters)
