Hello everyone, I have to make an ISL between two SAN, one is formed by HP Brocade Switches Model 300 with Fabric Fabric OS 6.2.0d is formed by the other switches Model 3200 with HP Brocade Fabric OS 3.2.0a.
Anybody know where I have to look for compatibility, to check before making the ISL?
Thank you very much!

Check the release notes from HP for your FOS
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01709493/c01709493.pdf
Although there would not be any major problems when you create ISL's between the switches, its not recommended as a best practice.
For example
Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that has products operating with newer versions of Fabric OS.
You can also refer the compatibility matrix from brocade for other products, although does not help in this scenario.

Re: Brocade ISL Compatibility
Brocade 3200s. I believe those were also the StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8 and StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8 EL.
Looking at the release notes for 6.2.0d, the Earliest compatible version for the 2/8s is 3.2.1b. The recommended version is 3.2.1c. You should consider updating the firmware on the 3200s.
(If you think this message has been helpful, please assign points. I collect them. Kind of like stamps. While you are at it, be a good sport and assign points to your other 60-some responses with unassigned points.)
Note: While I am an HPE Employee, all of my comments (whether noted or not), are my own and are not any official representation of the company
