We are seeing the same sort of issues on ESX 3.0.2, Dell host nodes with qlogic 2GB FC cards, connected to Qlogic FC switches.
Our issue is that the DSS server will not go into target mode no matter what and the ESX nodes cannot see any of the LUNS we create.
I've set the qlogic switch ports to the various configs to see if that helped, and it did not. The qlogic see's the DSS ports in initiator mode - even though the DSS is obviously set to target mode.
1.32 latest beta and all prior releases, same issue. I'm not sure if it is unique to out setup or not, but the same hosts, cards, and switches are working fine talking to some storevaults and a windows software based SAN.
** Literally the same setup ** I am just adding the DSS into the switch and creating LUNS and trying to present them to the host nodes - node luck.
Todd has been great in helping me trying to figure this out, so far as jumping on a webex session and looking things over - no luck yet.
I'm sure we'll get it, I just hope soon, as I have to keep deploying storevaults, it isn't all that bad!
