Hi all !

I hope you can help me with a _big_ problem i'm currently having with
a SAN Installation.

Here's the rough Setup :

Novell server========||
Novell Server=======Brocade Silkworm 3800----|
Win2K Server=======Brocade Silkworm 3800----D173 Disk
Win2K Server========||

Novell Servers 6.x with SP3
Windows 2000 Servers w/ SP4

HBAs : 2x 2300F in each of the netware servers
2x 2200F in Win2k Server A
2x 2340F in Win2k Server B

Drivers are the latest from the qlogic website + QLDirect +
SANSurfer-Agents +SANsurfer on a Management Console (another 2000
Server)

I already configured LUNs in the SANBlade MAnager for each of the
server to only see its partition in the D173.
The Windows-Servers don't seem to have any problems with this
configuration as i could already write a signature on the volumes and
use them in the system.

A total different story are the Novell Netware Servers....
LUNs are configured in the SANBlade Manager, Modules are loaded with
/LUNS /Port=X and don't seem to report any errors.
(I also tried /allpaths but that makes the SANBlade MAnager loose all
the configured LUNS ....)

But i can't make the OS to see any devices !?
A scan for devices hasn't got any effect.

Anyone had a problem similar like this ?
I'd be happy for any solution !

thanks in advance

Florian S.
