How are others dealing with the issue of keeping the SAN fabric simple by using as few inter-switch links as possible and using optical passthrough in the bladecenters vs using SAN switching in the bladecenters and have what I view to be a more complex SAN? I understand that the Nexxus has some interesting tools to address this, but I'll be using MDS 9500's for the forseeable future.
