I'm looking for ways to connect the IBM FLEX system to my MDS 9513 based SAN. The Flex system will include an FC022, which is a Brocade SAN switch. So I'm pondering NPV on the Brocade switch, it appears a Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for IBM® Flex System is also an option.
I for sure don't want to have a compatabiliy mode ISL between the two.
Any thoughts or experience would be very welcome.

Hello Bruce,
I did this before and worked fine.
In that case I used a Nexus 5548UP and a brocade IBM chassis integrated switch running in access gateway mode.

Back Again, the more I read the worse it gets. BUT! I do now know that for Brocade NPV is Actually called Access Gateway (AG).
So far this looks to me like I don't want to do this!
