Symptoms

Hosts can not see targets
Hosts zoned by port can not see targets
Hosts can not see target while in Open Fabric Interop Mode

Resolution

One reason for this to occur is that the Interop Mode for the switch is set in Open Fabric 1.0 and zoning is done by Domain, Port. McData does not support Domain, Port zoning while in Open Fabric 1.0 Interoperability Mode. This can be confirmed in the <Document: 1015627.1> Product Information log file.

Resolution Options

Change from Open Fabric Interop Mode to McData Fabric Interop Mode

From EFCM 8 do the following:

Login as Administrator level use
<Document: 1015743.1> Disable the switch
Select Configure
Select Switch
Select Fabric Parameters
From the pull down on Interop Mode, choose McData Fabric 1.0
Select OK
<Document: 1015743.1> Enable the switch

From CLI do the following:

Root> maint system setOnlineState 0
Root> config switch interopMode McData
Root> maint system setOnlineState 1

Change from Domain, Port zoning to WWN zoning.

Switch is in Open Fabric 1.0 Interop Mode and is doing Domain, Port based
zoning.
Interop Mode is for connecting switches in a heterogeneous vendor environment.
If all of your switches in the fabric are McData switches, Open Fabric Mode is
not suggested.

Hosts can see drives if switch is bypassed
