All,

I'm looking for a technical documentation on the MacData SAN interface, which is connected to the CGESM.
For instance, I don't know how to connect to this interface to configure a SAN (Zone, ports, ....).
I would like to know the CLI commands, or if it can be configured using a web interface.


Raman,
The second link http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00580093/c00580093.pdf
returns a 404 error.

I found this :
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00293054/c00293054.pdf
Page 20 of this pdf, it is said :

The HP BladeSystem p-Class SAN Connectivity Kit is an option for the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class, providing ProLiant BL servers with support for Fibre Channel signal pass-through connectivity. The kit may be ordered separately and installed during a new deployment or later as an upgrade. If you are installing the kit, refer to the HP BladeSystem p-Class SAN Connectivity Kit Quick Setup Instructions (included with the HP BladeSystem p-Class SAN Connectivity Kit) for more information (see http://www.hp.com/support).

But I can't find this documentation
Thanks
