Configuring Ibm 2498b40 San Switch
I have 21 IBM Blade Centers that are connected to XIV SAN Storage Device. The blades are currently connected to the XIV by using 2 2498B40 Brocade Switches. The problem I have is from the XIV I am unable to see the available fiber channel ports when trying to allocate storage to my blades. After speaking to a representative from IBM they told me the Brocade Switches are not completely configured for the blades. Would like to know the procedures for properly configuring the Brocade switches?
