New AIX server, existing Brocade/Shark

We have a Shark with Brocade switches (been working
for several months, an IBM BP set it up). We have a
new AIX box (fiber channel adapters) that we want to
connect to the Shark. Since our BP did it before, we
don't have that much experience, and we'd like to TRY
to do it ourselves.

I've been talking with the powers that be, and we've
figured out that we have to:

- Connect the AIX machine to the Brocade switches,
install the drivers, etc.
- Configure zoning on the switch.
- Perform the disk allocation.

Is this overly simplistic? What's the BEST book I can
read to learn how to do this in as short a time as
possible? I know, not the best approach, but we're
under the gun.

Thanks,

Robert
