I've had a similar problem with a Compaq switch, (it's Brocade inside like
most switches), which was due to previously defined zoning, (we'd used the
switch at another site before I got my hands on it). I had to delete all of
that, (through telnet and command line) before I could see everything.

I seem to recall that after connecting to the switch, I re-started
everything attached to it: the server and a tape library.
