[sf-lug] i got a SAN and need a fibre channel interface to configure it

[Ernest De Leon]

Every SAN that I have worked on has been configurable via ethernet.  I have
never had to connect via FC for configuration.  As far as I knew, FC was
only for data.  Do you know if there is a web based interface on the SAN
itself?  Do you happen to know the IP the ethernet port was set to before
you got a hold of it?  If the answer is no, is there a method to re
initalize the unit to factory defaults?  Were you able to get the system
documentation?  Let me ask a friend of mine who works more with LSI than I
do and see what he says. I am more of an EMC/3PAR guy.
