Hi, one of our sites purchased an AW567A (P2000) SAN and two servers with a 81B (AP769A aka Brocade 815) HBA each. Once we managed to get it connecting for a day but now it doesn't work anymore.
There are many articles stating that direct connection between these devices is not possible (meaning that a switch would be required), like these:
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Storage-Area-Networks-SAN/W2K8-Server-cannot-see-any-LUNs-on-HP-P2000-MSA-SAN/m-p/4718340#M46932
http://community.brocade.com/message/14685
http://community.brocade.com/thread/4661
However, various resellers claim that direct connection IS supported and our setup should work. What is the truth?
Solved! Go to Solution.
