Hello admins.

In the meantime i have solved the problem. On the sharks we have used the node
WWN's and not the port WWN's, so the sharks could not see the hosts.
After changing the WWN's an ioscan shows us the disks.

Thanks for your responses.

Wolfgang

> The configuration:
> Fabric 1:
> FC1, Ports 12,13: Shark1
> FC1, Port 5: rp4440 1, hba1
> FC2, Ports 2,3: Shark2
