SAN switch what?

Question

Iron

There is an HP MSA P2000 disk shelf and 2 servers with HP StorageWorks 81B PCIe 8Gb Fiber Channel Single Port Host Bus Adapter, unfortunately they do not see each other when connected directly, so it became necessary to buy a san switch that will solve this problem.
In view of my little experience, I ask for advice in the model or resources where you can read it easily.

Answer 1

The standard Brocade 300 model will be enough for you, the number of ports can be configured upon purchase. The switch mentioned above is the same in principle, only it is HP that sells it, and almost all vendors have it.

Answer 2

Such a model is suitable, this is the Brocade 300, it's just that HP OEMs Brocade products for itself.
The SAN setup algorithm is simple - zoning. (by default, multiply to add all ports to one zone - everyone will see everyone), then you will already play with zoning by ports and services. (I personally learned how to work with SAN in my time)

Answer 3

In 300 brockade, as a rule, zones are already registered (ports 0 and 1 to storage, the rest to servers)
