FC direct-attached problem

[nent]

Hey Todd,

Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate it. I will go down to the data center tonight and upgrade all the firmware and do the steps you've provided.

Please excuse my ignorance on this subject.. but bluntly, what is the difference between initiator and target mode? Can initiator mode be used a a 'direct-attach' to my media server via FC-AL?

Thanks again

If you plan on connecting to a SAN storage system to access a LUN for example then set the hba in initiator mode. If you plan on providing Target and LUN set to target mode. You can direct attach but you may have to test with point to point settings.
