Secure Path; weird email notification

Richard Pereira_1 — Fri, 04 Jun 2004 09:03:15 GMT

Hi,

I have a HPUX 11.i system connected to a EVA3000 and we're using SecurePath. Whenever I add a Lun, i noticed the first lines have the following description;

Configuration error. Invalid or missing target/lun wwlid entry for * on array DON'T CARE
Active path for LUN 600508B4000116710000E00001960000 changed to c8t0d6. (hba:controller) *:P66C5D3AAOY089
Active path for LUN 600508B4000116710000E00001960000 changed to c11t0d6. (hba:controller) *:P66C5D3AAOR02G
Active path for LUN 600508B4000116710000E00001960000 changed to c5t0d6. (hba:controller) *:P66C5D3AAOY089
Active path for LUN 600508B4000116710000E00001960000 changed to c7t0d6. (hba:controller) *:P66C5D3AAOR02G

The rest of the output seems normall, just that first line . Im guessing it might have been a older config test someone was running, is there a way i can find or remove what causing this?

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Richard,
I don't have much practical experience with Secure Path for HP-UX, but I would try the following:

- create a list of all virtual disks on the EVA via SSSU

- search for "6005-08b4-0001-1671-0000-e000-0196-0000"

- if the string does not appear, then that virtual disk has been deleted from the EVA. I think the correct way is to first run:
# spmgr delete 600508B4000116710000E00001960000
and then delete the virtual disk from the EVA. I would try the "spmgr delete" now.

- If the string is present, then it is possible someone ran "spmgr delete". You should be able to find that out with:
# spmgr display -u
To make them available again you have to run "spmgr add", then "ioscan" and "insf".

Well, heres the weird part, the lines starting with "Active Path for LUN" is expected. what i dont understand is that first line;

"Configuration error. Invalid or missing target/lun wwlid entry for * on array DON'T CARE"

I see this message all the time when doing an ioscan on a machine where I have just presented a new lun. However, I have 11.00 and an older version of SecurePath/Business copy. I thought this was corrected by the new version of SecurePath/Business Copy which is supported by 11.i, but not 11.00.

The latest release notes for Secure Path V3.0D mention this effect - it has no impact on SP's operation and you can still check this with:
# spmgr display

It is on page 15:

And the update to SP V3.0D is back:

Great, thanks for that PDF, this reassures me there no problem.
