The answer is no, because fibre channell runs independent of that kind of stuff, so your volumes will not get screwed up. As long as the switch (if you're using a switch) youre using does not have any zoning set you should be fine. If you have zones set then you may have to rezone in order to get things working like before. ----- Original Message ----- From: Austad, Jay <austad at marketwatch.com> To: <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 9:24 AM Subject: [TCLUG] Sun fiber channel question -- sorta OT > So, since I know there's lots of Unix gurus here, I have a question... > > I have an UE3500 connected to an A5000 and an A5100 disk array.
