Re: HBA's login in and out of the fabric

I see link timeout message. Please check:
- FC cable;
- GBIC (try exchange 2 GBICs within 2 brocade ports, or use spare one);
- check brocade's firmware;
- if you use 3x00 brocade (2GB/s) try lockinng its port at 1GB/s speed;
- check for latest Diags, GR and HWE patch bundles (should be from the same CD release);
- disable fcms monitoring in monconfig (not sure it it's good idea, but you may try)
