Hi Luis,
We found the issue. We added the port from the three-site box to the Hyperswap zone, but you can't mix replication ports with inter-node ports.
This happened because we had configured port masking on both boxes.
I'm going to use new ports for replication only and create new zones – that should solve the problem.

Hola Alejandro,
Have you tried it by creating the partnership using the web GUI? It might not give you a different result but could help by giving you advice or the reason why it's not possible

Hi all!
I am configuring a third site in a hyperswap topology.
However, I am unable to establish a partnership between Hyperswap and the new cabinet.
When I run the lspartnershipcandidate command, I can see the other cabinet. However, when I run mkfcpartnership, I can't establish a partnership. I receive a "Not Present" status.
I've checked the zones and created the aliases using the physical FC ports. They are configured in a separate virtual fabric.
I've also checked the cabinet layers. Both are in storage layers.
I'm stuck because I don't know what else to check.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
