A5100 connected to Brocade switch

[Richard Linton]

Good evening,

Is anyone out there directly connecting a A5x00 series disk array to a Brocade
fabric switch?  I've several A5100s in use connected to Sun hubs, but 
the latest
unit's manual now says that the max number of A5100s on a hub is three, not
four as the loop address leads one to believe is acceptable :-)

I'm wondering if I'm better off using either a better grade of hub, (if this
is a hub capacity limitation issue).  In looking at connecting to a better
grade of hub, it seemed that I should be able to directly connect to a switch
with the A5x00 array.

thanks for your suggestions

regards,
