Replacing Brocade/Quick Loop with FC-AL Hub.
We want to replace the switches with regular FC/AL hubs to free up the ports on the switches.
I am not sure if this replacement would change the device entries (/dev/dsk/cXtYdZ) for these EMC disks.
Would the Volume groups on these disks be still accessible after connecting to the FC-AL hub.
Any ideas and experiences?
Thanks in advance.

Be aware you servers have to share bandwith when connected to a hub...

Re: Replacing Brocade/Quick Loop with FC-AL Hub.
basically your device file should not change as long as you don't change the fibre connection on the server side or change the target lun on the EMC.exporting the VG is always a good idea for any case,
#vgexport -p -s -m /tmp/VGname.map /dev/vg##
if you're using Volume logix you'll have to do more work, pls. let me know.

Re: Replacing Brocade/Quick Loop with FC-AL Hub.
I a very good idea execute vgexport -s -m, if you prefeer with -p option. Be careful if you alternates alternate link between io cards, if you make a vgimport, you will loose this load balancing, and you will need to redo it.
