BL860c I2 & EVA6000

[Adrian Graham_1]

Hi folks,

I think I'm going nuts here. In the lab I have a C3000 Shorty with a single BL680c connected to an EVA6000 via a Brocade 4/24 switch in bay 4. The switch is zoned with a single zone containing:

CVEVA management PC

EVA FP2 on both controllers

Port 2 on the BL860c (QMH2532 installed in Mezz3)

On the EVA I add the BL host and can see the WWID of port 2 in the dropdown box.

Create 2 VMS vdisks (OS id 101 and 102) and present to the BL host.

This is where the problems start. I read that the OVMS 8.4 install DVD will simply find my LUNS and let me choose them, but I see no $1$DGAxxx devices. This led me deeper into the EFI and the need to do these commands:

vms_bcfg boot fibre 1

reconnect -r

map -r

Still no LUNs. Boot the IPF ODE to get the efiutil utility in \efi\hp\tools\io_cards\fc8 and select adapter 1.

I can see the EVA controllers but not the LUNs. Any clues? All firmware is latest as per hp.com, the switch is running FabOS 6.1.0c

Cheers

Adrian

Forget it, discovered the cache batteries had failed on the EVA controllers which prevents new vdisk presentation despite CVEVA letting me do it!

Nice to know I wasn't doing anything stupid :)
