Physical connection

Did my first lab setup. Put two connections between two MDS switches + put connection to the initiator. Had several problems and learned the following:
1. some MDS platforms have license per group of ports.
2. Fiber cable has a light on one of the channel. This channel we should plugged in into dark side of SFP.
3. We need to check which SFP type is good for the platform. The matrix could be found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps4159/ps6409/ps4358/product_data_sheet09186a00801bc698.html


So I have the following topology:

Initiator--- [fc1/3]mds-9124 [fc 1/5][fc1/7]--- [fc 1/8][fc1/12] mds-9506 [fc1/4]--Storage (netApp)
