i want to expand two fabrics (each has one switch) with another switch per fabric. i want to connect one switch to another switch on port 15. The only things i can think about to do are set the correct IP adres, name the switch and set the unique domain ID and plug in the interlink cable. do i need some other configurations as well to sync the zoning/aliases etc or will this automatically be done?
many thanks

SolutionThey must also have compatible firmware versions. As long as one is not much older than the other, it should work. Check the release notes of the firmware version to see with which ones it can be connected.

Re: SAN Switch connection
but i still do not know if 6.2.0g works with the 6000 on the EVA4000.
I try the spoc knowledge base but it doesn't show firmware versions, only switch models...

Re: SAN Switch connection
But you really, really, really should upgrade from XCS 6.000, because you can get data corruption if the EVA runs out of space in a disk group.

Re: SAN Switch connection
But i must upgrade the switches, else i can't connect the old with the new switches (The new switches are already on 6.2.0g).
Is there a site where you can find which firmware versions works together? This customer has also Qlogic QMH2406 firmware 4.04.06. I do not know if the EVA with XCS 6.000 and the HBA's and the swicthes on FOS 6.2.0g works together. As i said before, on the spoc database i can't find it...

Re: SAN Switch connection
Watch out - the QLogic adapters have an on-board RISC-processor. The software for this processor is called 'firmware' and the bits usually are loaded from the operating system's device driver (there is also a version on-board for some diagnostic functions).
If you are looking via the System Management Homepage, check the "Options ROM" value. Or on a VMware ESX driver it is the "BIOS" value:
# cat /proc/scsi/qla2300/1
..... Firmware version: 3.03.19, Driver version 7.08-vm33.3
Boot Code Version:
..... BIOS : v1.45, Fcode : v0.00, EFI : v0.00
(no, this is not from a QMH ;-)
