Folks,

  Could anybody get an advice how to configure FC switch (Brocade
SilkWorm 3800) with connected L180, backup server and NetApp to It?

 We are using Legato 7.1 on base Solaris 8 with Qlogic 2300 FC host
adapter, and L180 with 2 tape drives (IBM LTO2) and robotic with FC
interfaces each of them as well as NetApp with FC host adapter connected
to it.

  Backup server shared L180 tape devices with NetApp. Now we have not
put any configuration on the FC switch.  The problem sometime occurs on
the NepApp box -   _all_ L180 devices (tape drives and robotic)
disappear at all. Commands on the NetApp console : sysconfig -t and
sysconfig -m show nothing. 

  So I guess the problem in Brocade Switch configuration. Perhaps need
to put zoning (by WWNs or by ports?) on this FC switch. May be by pairs:

Zones:

Server HBA <-> Tape drive1 FC interface
Server HBA <-> Tape drive2 FC interface
Server HBA <-> Robotic FC interface

NetApp HBA <-> Tape drive1 FC interface
NetApp HBA <-> Tape drive2 FC interface
NetApp HBA <->  Robotic FC interface

 Does any body have a strong solution with this configuration? I'll be
very appreciated if anybody could drop me a short description or
document's name in Inet!

  Regards, Vitaly
