I have not yet read the Redbook. But I am less than impressed that I must now sign up for Redbooks in order to download them. And even more irritated that if I want to download both the PDF and epub versions, I must sign up __twice__. Oh well, I guess _somebody_ has to foot the bill for these. And

IE has always been slow for downloads. So it is the browser in this case. I am not sure if you can get Mozilla installed, but that would be a better option. It is a no cost product. Then you got get DOWNTHEMALL and have a great way to download multiple PDFs at lightning fast speeds. Lizette

Hi... If you are using npiv you can use the following zfcp module parameter: zfcp.allow_lun_scan=1 This will automatically add the zfcp luns automatically. All you need is to set the zfcp device online and all luns that are available through the san will be there dynamically. Really no need to

One more thing... When using xiv it is important to utilize all 6 interface modules (if you have all 6 of them). Meaning 6 paths to the xiv. 3 from each fabric. Use at least 2 zfcp devices... 1 from each fabric Offer Baruch On Sep 23, 2014 7:42 PM, Offer Baruch offerbar...@gmail.com wrote:
