FC A6685A not recognized

Paco Maldonado — Wed, 18 Feb 2004 09:26:58 GMT

Hi all!
I have installed a FC adapter, A6685A in a K360/800 with 10.20.
I have followed the instructions before insert adapter. I have download some required patches and the J3630BA bundle and afterwards the driver. I have also installed a patch for insf/rmsf to load fcp driver and upgrade the PDC of machine to 41.33 revision.
It happens the same, there is no luck.
FC Adapter path is 8/12.

So, what is the problem? any help?

There is an attachment of the output of 'ioscan -fnC ext_bus'.
Thnx
Paco

Hi Paco,

Did you try loading the driver A6685A?

Looks like a bad SCSI Card.

It is possible you may have an SCSI Id conflict since those fiber cards show up as scsi devices.

Check the card, cables and termination, then id's and see if that helps.

Or call HP Hardware, they're pretty good.

Hi Paco,

Everybody's else advice is good....but I have have a simple question.
Do you actualy expect a 2Gb FC card to work in a 10.20 environment?

My 2 cents,
Jeff

Hi again!
Sri: That's is the instructions I followed.

SEP: I'll try it tomorrow.

Jeff: Is there any problem with FC and 10.20?

Do you actually expect a 2Gb FC device to be fully supported in an unsupported OS?

I don't know, but I have installed two instances of SAP that require more free space. So, Must I migrate to 11.xx and is it fully supported in 11.xx?
Thanks again.
