Hi!

The below problem was not solved until HP changed the motherboard of the 
DS20e. Noone knows what actualy went wrong, but by testing several 
interfaces, systems, arrays, zoning configurations, wwidmgr commands and 
firmware version combinations the problem was isolated to the system 
itself.

Thanks for numerous suggestions. When things dont go after the book, its 
a good help to know we havent missed out something stupid.
