Dear Sajith,

looks like you tried to add the same features which already came with Bladecenter 8GB SAN Switch by default.

There is info in Announcement Letter:

"The Brocade tool set includes Server Application Optimization, Adaptive Networking, Enterprise Group Management, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, and Extended Fabric."

New Brocade 10-port and 20-port 8Gb SAN Switch Modules, and Brocade 8Gb SFP+ SW Optical Transceiver for IBM BladeCenter
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.jsp?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/877/ENUSZG09-0723/index.html&breadCrum=DET001PT022&url=buttonpressed=DET002PT005&specific_index=DET001PEF502&DET015PGL002=DET001PEF011&submit.x=7&submit.y=8&lang=en_GB

And as result there are no options for this Bladecenter 8Gb SAN Switches. Where you got that 2 options? I can't found them in Internet and on IBM Web.
