Same zone was used to test access to intel, so zonned is working ok. I can´t bring up a linux image, since I´m not able to define storage to be used by this image. My problem is before try to bring up zvm 5.4 or linux under it.

Did you IPL a linux guest or LPAR and use it to drive a fabric login or fabric discovery ? The ESS and DS4700 will only show you the hosts which have contacted them, since they don't do discovery of the host systems. The z10 will not drive any discovery actions in the SAN by itself ( unlike other platforms ) You have to bring up a Linux image and do a SAN fabric / device scan or attempt to configure the FCP storage from z/VM.
