Since upgrading one of our storage servers to version 7 we are having problems with Vmware seeing the the target and volumes.

What we have noticed is that the fibre switch is showing that the port is in both modes (target/initiator), i have tried different ports and it is the same on the second FC switch as well. This is causing the problem with vmware because as soon as i plug a version 6 DSS server into the port it all works correctly.

So it seems that Version 7 of DSS does not advertise itself correctly.
