<p class=MsoNormal>I don't think there's anything that will work 'out of the
box' to do what you need... but if you have some Perl skills you might be able
to write your own Probe module for it.<br>
<br>
I would approach it one of 2 ways:<br>
<br>
- If memory serves, there is a utility called fcping that works much like the
regular (IP) ping command, but pings a WWPN. You'd have to write a Probe
module to support it.<br>
<br>
- Pull information from one of the FC switches directly. You could
probably use the IOSping probe module as a template and modify as necessary.<br>
<br>
I know it's probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it's all I can
think of at the moment.<br>
<br>
