I have an IBM blade center with 13 HS22 (mix of 4Gb & 8Gb Qlogic HBAs) servers and duel 4Gb brocade fiber SAN switch. I am replacing both brocade SAN switch with QLogic 8Gb 20 Ports, Intelligent Pass-thru Module(44X1905). After replacing the switch, all the internal ports status is showing "Downed". How can i activate these ports?

port can be down for several reasons.

  1. incompatible connectors.
  2. phy conn issues.
  3. or unable to login to SAN sw. is NPIV active/UP on qlogic port? if it is down you will have to purchase the extra license/feature.
