MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
From the 9120... elpFailureUnknownFlowCTLCode which translates to "Isolated for ELP failure due to invalid flow control code."
MSA1000 gives a similar error... HP Switches indicate “Invalid flow control mode”
I have verified both are in E mode, on the 9120 I am using one of the first 4 ports, I have tried setting them to 1Gig and also setting each to auto (one at a time).
I could find no real help on this searching the web.

Re: MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
I guess that you have embedded Fibre Channel switches in the box?
If those are the old 6-port switches - forget it. I those are the embedded 8-port Brocade switches - I think you need to care about switch interoperability modes.
There is some documentation on this page:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&locale=en_US&docIndexId=179911&taskId=101&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=406734
look for:
"HP StorageWorks Fabric Interoperability:
Merging Fabrics Based on C-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes
(AA-RV1ZD-TE, September 2005)"

Re: MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
The switches in the MSA1000's enclosure are 2/8q Fibre Channel Switches, 2 of course. I attempt to connect each one to a 9120 but each gives the same error as described in my original post.
All equipment was purchased within the last 6 months and this is their initial configuration.
I will check out that C-Series and B-Series Fabric Interoperability doc to see if any of the info in it could be applicable to my situation.
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Re: MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
Unfortunately, the manual does not apply, because the Q switches are from Qlogic - just another vendor.
As far as I can tell, what you have is a low-end solution and there is no supported way to link it to any other switches. You might want to go to QLogic's webpage to see if they publish any documents for interoperability with other switch vendors.

Re: MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
You say, that switches are in the MSA1000's enclosure. If this switches embedded in the back of MSA enclosure, then this is not 2/8q switch but MSA SAN switch 2/8.

Re: MSA1000 and Cisco 9120
I contacted HP support and they indicated that I should follow the "HP StorageWorks Fabric Interoperability: Merging Fabrics Based on C-Series and B-Series Fibre Channel Switches Application Notes
(AA-RV1ZD-TE, September 2005)" document, as was suggested earlier.
I performed the B Series instructions on the 2/8q switches and it resolved the problem.
