Missing vg on sam app

RNC — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 04:43:33 GMT

Hello all,

I have my hp9000 (rp3440) connected to a EVA4000. I added a disk to the server and I can see it when I execute "ioscan -fnC disk", but if i execute sam I can't see the disk. I created the vg in command line, and I created the lv's in the sam app, but when I execute that I recive some warnings/errors indicating that the disk is missing, but the sam create the lv.

Some one knows the problem?
Thanks in advanced.

can you post the output of "strings /etc/lvmtab", "vgdisplay -v ", "ioscan -fnCdisk"?

RNC,

From my experience, when it comes to SAM and disk arrays, is a lot better if you do the whole thing from the command line to avoid errors like the one that you are having.

Regards,

Jaime.

Yes, from the output you attached, I don't think you have a problem with the vg/lv you created.

If you want to understand what's wrong with sam, you can have look at /var/sam/log/samlog.

You can also try to create a vg with only primery device(s) without alternate links. Sometimes SAM could not understand alternate links from a single FC. After you create lv(s) you add those alternate links to the vg.
