in array id

Rp7400 box with va7100. Just got and am trying to config drives. Using arndsp -i I get:

Product ID: HP-A6188A
Device Type: Virtual Disk Array
Alias: va7100_pcd
World Wide Name: 50060b00000972f0
Unique ID: HPA6188A00SG11500029
Serial Number: 00SG11500029
Management Path: caremgr2.uhcolorado.edu:/dev/rscsi/c10t14d0

When I use SAM to config, I get:

The command used to retrieve information about HP SureStore ^ | |
| || VirtualArray has failed. The stderr is shown below. | |

Hello,

Try running armdsp with serial number first., then run armdsp with array id from unix prompt.

Then run commandview through sam to configure your lun.

What's the output with armdsp -a command.??

Well, you can try execute commandview from webbroswer too, to configure lun

-USA..

Mark,
please attach 'armdsp -a va7100_pcd' and 'ioscan -fn' outputs to your next reply. It says "did not provide a Serial Number for device file /dev/dsk/c14t0d0". What's this c14t0d0? I need to check all these I requested above in order to help you

Uday,

I tried your suggestions with the same error. I am assuming the array id is va7100_pcd. Also, I have provided the attachments.

c14t0d0 should be LUN 0 seen through another VA controller at path 1/8/0/0. Run 'insf -e' and check ioscan again: for device
"disk 8 1/8/0/0.8.0.108.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP A6188A" device files /dev/[r]dsk/c14t0d0 should be created. Then try SAM again

In addition, please call your local HP office and schedule VA firmware upgrade to the latest: controller HP18 and battery 4.3
