Much of the doc out there is for earlier releases (I'm running SLES10) and there is no real step by step information out there to add FCP to an existing Linux Virtual Server. The FCP Redbooks and NPIV Redbooks make some sign cant assumptions on the level of knowledge that we have. So for example:
I'm attaching to a EMC Clarion in my test environment. I had to sign into the switch before they could finish the masking, but when using yast it insisted on knowing ALL the details of the FCP connection before I could proceed. By experimentation I found that if I used the zfcp_host_configure command to set the VM device on line it signed me in and out of the switch. Then there was more time spent trying to find commands to show what I could see and where they were all located. Some of the things I came across like san_disc showed up but with no examples to go by I couldn't work out what it was asking for or the appropriate entries. Other commands I came across like lsscsi, lszfcp are mentioned in differing presentations scattered around the web. If this mailing list and the z/VM one did not exist my project would have failed totally. (Thank you ALL !)
