This is what we usually do:
Install the HBA (F/C 6228) with the drivers and the SDD.
Connect it to the switch making sure of the protocol is FC and AL.
The zoning was probably done for you, all you have to is put your server in
the zone you want.
Using Storwatch, configure the LUNs and assign them to the server.
There are a lot of Redbooks for SAN and ESS. I would start by the ones
that talk about "Implementing ESSt"
and "implemeting SAN", "SAN Survival Guide".
Good Luck.

>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
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
