Completely new to fibre channel, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to connect a 2006 Mac Pro running 5.1 to a Solaris 11 machine using fibre channel.
Both machines have Sun branded LPe11000 cards and are just connected point to point. Tx -> Rx on both ends.
When the HBAs were configured with the lpfc_topology of 0, they appeared to come up and online. They negotiated to 4Gb. Problem was the ESXi host was not seeing the LUN.
If I forced the topology in to point to point, the interface starts flapping every few seconds.
Any suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks!
Sam
