Do your disks show up in 'ioscan'? If not, then it sounds like you need to set up the LUN on the EMC so it is assigned to the HP-UX server.

The lun's presented to the Storage_Group and
If you have the PowerPath installed

execute the following.

ioscan
insf -e
powermt check
powermt config

Should meet with the following command.

Powermt display dev=all

Did your bin file ran ok when you added the disk? No errors?
Are you able to see the disk in your Symmetrix or whatever EMC storage box you are using?

after changing disk, you should run fcmsutil /dev/tdx replace_dsk Target_N_Port_ID.

Pls check your syslog.log, I think there is error message about changing disk, you can get port information there .

Run the following commands to see new disk.

symcfg discover
syminq
ioscan -fn
insf -e
sympd list

check if you can see new LUN with device name.

Please assign points if your problem is solved.

check to make sure you mapped and masked the disk properly to the HP in question.

You can use ECC for that. or if you have the utilities on the HP you can check with one of the sym commands.

if that is ok then you need to run

ioscan
insf -C disk or insf -e

and then you should have a usable disk.
