Connecting backup server to brocade switch help

Hi all
We are implementing a new backup server for our SAN, the server currently had one connection to our brocade switch, is it possible to put a second connection to the brocade switch from the server? and will it team them or become a failover connection, I believe the FC card in the server is Q Logic
hope you can help
thanks
Carl

There are no restrictions whatsoever to how many ports you use to connect from your server to the switch. I had a single server that used 16 ports to each switch.
I was wrong with the first post as I got sidetracked talking about how FC does trunking. You can't trunk from the server to the switch. It does from switch to switch though. The server multipathing software manages the traffic to the storage array normally in a round robin approach.
If you just have a backup server <-> switch <-> FC tape drive, the traffic is managed by the backup media agent. Backups are pretty simple as tape drives are just one thing. They are not like storage arrays.
As far as broadcast goes, look up RSCN.
FC networking is different to IP so get a book and read up about it.

  • HT4623 ut the FB password in settings. When I do it tells me "unable to connect to server". Can anyone help?

    My Facebook app stopped working on my iPad. It keeps asking me to put the FB password in settings. When I do it tells me "unable to connect to server". Can anyone help?

    This problem affects many (including myself) and seems to be a bug in the integration of the FB app in iOS 7.
    You can get around the login problem by turning Settings/Privacy for FB off. However, after you turn that Privacy setting back on after logging in, then iOS 7 will continue to pester you with pop-up messages to enter the password in Settings. This will invariably fail with the error message that you have already experienced, but at least it gives a way of logging in.
    The solution will in my view have to come jointly from Apple and FB.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How do I get Safari to connect to server on I-Pad 2?

    How do I get Safari to connect to server on I-Pad 2?  I get the message "Connection to server has failed",
    Please help!  Needless to "say". this question is not being sent from my I-Pad.

    Tthank you for your reply.  After much frustration,I shut the I-Pad completely down, pushing both the side button and top button simultaneously until only the apple logo appeared on the screen.  Miraculously , the e-mail appeared and everything is now back to normal.
    For future reference, what under "general" do you do to get "reset"?  I'm not tech-savvy as I'm sure this statement indicates. 
    I'll appreciate a response and thank you again.

  • Can we connect single server to the multiple switches?

    Hello Team,
    I want to redesign the Client network in order to provide network availability and fail over. I have designed attached diagram. I have doubt if we can connect a server having multiple NICs to different uplink switches.
    let say NIC1-2 is connected to Uplink Switch1 and NIC3-4 is connected to uplink Switch2. I want to do this so that if uplink switch1 dies then still server would be accessible via switch2.
    is there would be any problem like mac address flapping? also, I know we can configure NIC teaming but i am not too sure how that would be helpful with my attached setup.
    can you guys please look at the attached diagram and provide me your inputs?
    Thanks for response.

    If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    Make sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

    You will need to get the required info to create/access the account with an email client from your school.
    Are you currently accessing the account with an email client on your computer - if you have a Mac with the Mail.app, or if you have a PC with Outlook Express, etc.? If so, you can get the required account settings there.

    Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
    -Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here  http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
    1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
    2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
    3. A dialog box will appear.
    4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
    5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.
