Sorry, I meant I'm not finding any of the specific things you mentioned.

Right, what I meant was that none of these things seemed to be the reason. I 
was not able to find the reasons. I shut down every machine in the cluster and 
started one back up, one at a time, unblocked three of 8 to get them all up 
and running again and since then, the cluster has been fine. I'm stumped since 
I didn't find any anomalies between cluster.conf files and other things 
mentioned.

Yes, I had also tried this, not the port number but the name.
 
The cluster is back now, it was related to rejections somewhere but I was not 
able to find where. Now I need to figure out why I can't see the FC fabric.
