Re: Cascade Brocade 4Gb SAN swt for c-class with McData 2/32
Have a look here " http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00100962/c00100962.pdf "
for interoperability.
Quick rundown:
1. Since these brocade switches are new, they probably do not have any config on them so you should be ok with no duplicate zone names and such.
2. Set all domain ID's on the brocades to a unique number.
3. Connect one switch at a time
4. Use the McData Fabric Manager for zoning operations
5. Make sure your firmware is compatible.
6. You may need to set compatibility mode(s).

As for "working together", you should not need any additional license except the one mentioned above. You should be able to just connect the 2 switches (assuming you made all the proper configuration changes) and they should talk to each other no problem.

Re: Cascade Brocade 4Gb SAN swt for c-class with McData 2/32
You will not have any E-ports from the c7000 but only NPIV. But you have written that you have bought the real fabric switch module - ae370a:
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF06b/3709945-3709945-3710104-3722786-3722786-3185340-3185342.html
which is giving you full fabric ports (not NPIV). The c7000 fabric switch module is more powerfull then the c7000 passthrough/vconnect because there is no port aggregation. The only problematic thing could be the Brocade/McData fabric switches interoperability.
