    If you were not actually plugged in to the switch when the 6228 adapters
    were configured by AIX, they might not be set to switched.

    Check via:

    $ lsattr -El fscsi0
    scsi_id 0x21500 Adapter SCSI ID False
    attach switch How this adapter is CONNECTED False
    sw_fc_class 3 FC Class for Fabric True

    You might have to rmdev HBAs and rerun cfgmgr.

    Hi:

    I have a 7025-F50 with 2 HBAs FC 6228 attached to a FASTt 700.
    I installed the devices drivers for type 4W, O/S sees
    them as available. No errors in errpt or with cfgmgr.

    I created a LUN on the SAN but AIX does not see anything. We tried
    this earlier on a P650 that we no longer have access to with
    similar results. (P650 on boot also generated "cannot perform
    fabric login" msg.)

    I think I have followed directions in "Fibre Channel Planning &
    Integration: User's Guide & Service Information."

    ???

    Thanks.
