A.
Edit /etc/hosts with the switch IP

B.
Replace HBA with a Fabric Only HBA

C.
Edit /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf so that topology=2

D.
Edit /etc/system so that there is a topology=4 entry

Explanation:
Since the host was previously Direct attached the topology field in the /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf would have been set to topology=4 (4 meaning arbitrated loop) which is why it logs in as FC-AL instead of N_Port. After migrating to a switched fabric the value would need to be changed to topology=2 in order to support the FC-SW environment.
Not A: The IP address of the switch has nothing to do with a flogi or fabric log in.
