IBM AIX - SAN Storage DS4300 issue

Hi,

This is follow up to the post SAN Disk Appearing double in AIX

When I connected Pseries Machine HBA Card ( Dual Port ) directly to the SAN Storage DS4300 , I was able to see Host Port Adapter WWN numbers , although I was getting this message http://oi41.tinypic.com/2vdgnyf.jpg
http://oi44.tinypic.com/fu1e1t.jpg

after adding a SAN Switch IBM 2005 H16 , I was unable to see any Host Port Adapter from the San Storage Program ( DS Storage Manager Client 10 )

Searching on google I came across this post SAN Error 89 - Cannot create or change a logical diskDrive Foro Proyecto AjpdSoft

Now, I am not sure, why I cannot see the HBAs . What could be the issue ?

Below is the profile of the storage sub-system

This is how I created the zone,


Basically One Zone
Which has
One Port from the HBA Card which is 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:fa
One Port from the SAN Storage Controller 20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d

maybe your are using the node wwn in the zoning

20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:fa

instead of port wwn , For emulex (IBM HBA) normally, is the same wwn but start with "10"

okay, few things,

first remember, I was unable to see the HBAs when I connected directly to the SAN Storage.
That is: PORT 0 of DUAL PORT HBA connected to Controller A
PORT 1 of DUAL PORT HBA connected to Controller B
in my DS SAN Storage Client Manager I was unable to see the HBA

What I did was, in my AIX machine
Code:
rmdev -Rdl fcs0
rmdev -Rdl fcs1
cfgmgr -v

Refresh in Storage Client Manager and I was able to see the HBAs

Next thing,
I connected after that I connected my single fiber adapter card which is Dual Port HBA as such
HBA Port 0 ---- Controller A
HBA Port 1 ---- Controller B

Did refresh on the SAN Storage Client Software and I was able to see both Ports
Port 0 : 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:fa
Port 1 : 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9

I tried creating only one zone
Cabling as such:
Port 0 of the Dual Port HBA is connected to SAN Switch Port 0
SAN Switch Port 8 is connected to Controller A of the SAN Storage
Now details about the ports
SAN SWITCH PORT 0: Port WWN 20:00:00:05:1e:34:47:37
HBA Port 0 : Device Port WWN [10:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9]
Device Node WWN [20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9]



SAN Switch Port #8: Port WWN 20:08:00:05:1e:34:47:37

Devices
Device Port WWN [20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3e]
Device Node WWN [20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d]
