I have to replace a HBA on RedHat5.3 due to card failure.

A tech guy asked me that
"Check your FC-Switch Zoning Type of Port Zoning or not? ,
because if host accessed by WWNN, you'll need to update FC-switch config"

Is this below result on Brocade FC 300 showing Port-Zoning configuration or not?

fcsw03:admin> switchshow

switchName:     xxxxx

switchState:    Online

Simple answer is to check zoneshow command output to list all configured zones. Zones that look like:

zone:test_1

         21:00:00:24:XX:XX:XX:XX

         50:06:01:60:XX:XX:XX:XX

         50:06:01:69:XX:XX:XX:XX

Are using WWN addresses.

If you see something like:

zone:test_1

         1,1

         1,6

         1,7

Then, you are using port-zoning. Here, the first 1 is the SwitchDomain ID and 1,6,7 are port numbers on that switch.

Also, zones can have a mixture of WWNs and ports definitions. Don't forget to do the same on the second Brocade switch as they are usually implementing Dual-Fabric configuration for redundancy and multi-pathing.
