Hi Everyone, I recently ran into a problem with a pair of A5100's connected to an E4500 through a JNI fiber card (FC64-1063). I was able to see all the disk devices and do normal file manipulations on the devices. The problem, was that I couldn't administer the array using luxadm as well as with storedge component manager. This by itself might not be a big deal. What really drove me nuts was that I couldn't get Veritas to recognize the A5100s. This means I couldn't take advantage of the free license which Veritas gives out to the A5x00 series array (among others). Since I really needed Veritas, I was in a bit of a bind. My theory, is that the JNI driver isn't creating the enclosure devices properly. I went through the usual steps of updating the JNI driver/firmware as well as different binding combos under the fcaw.conf/sd.conf/ses.conf, but to no avail. In frustration, I switched out the JNI fiber cards (AKA cannibalized from another server) with SUN cards and everything worked properly. I'm grossly over-simplifying the troubleshooting steps, but suffice it to say that I was frustrated enough to send the solution to a public list so that some other poor sap doesn't end up working over the holidays with a similar problem :) -Kit _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Dec 25 12:53:18 2001
