Configuring Blade server to access IBM SAN volume
Hi , We have 3 blade servers in blade centre E- mt8277 and IBM DS4700 Storage with three volumes. It has already configured that all 3 servers can access 3 volumes. We are adding4th Blade and 3 HDDs in storage as 4th volume. We want to configure 4th Blade to access 4th volume in DS4700 SAN. Please suggest step by step procedure and cross checks.
Thanks.
Thanks.

there is no up-to date information on dealing with 4Gbps FC gear.
even trade-in options are over.
it requires FC switch configuration also
there could be nasty access list on a disk box also
pay attention to firmware levels.

Hi andyalder,
Earlier it has been configured by someone. Just now i completed task. First i created new Zone in the existing zoneset on blade centre. Created members in the newZone (New Blade, On board FC cards in Blade centre.) Secondly created volume on storage using storage manager.
created new host, assign logical volume to the new host. Thats it. Works well.
