I have ML380 Hp server, and I connected Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 01) , on it,

and I can see Card when I apply lspci, and when I download driver from this hp link(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1143949&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=1809835&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2025)

I made all steps that HP advice to do , but I can see my SAN .

Shalom,

The emulex HBA driver is not in your initrd ramdisk image. It needs to be.

You need to make a new initrd image.

General procedure, once the drivers are installed.

cd /boot
mv initrd-....img to initrd-....img.orig

mkinitrd

mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp

From the logs it looks like the adapter sees only the EVA controller devices at LUN address #0 - this is not a disk LUN onto which you can store any data. Did you create a Host entry with the adapter's WWPN and map a virtual disk to it?

The EVA administrator must create a "Host" entry and use the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) of your server's Fibre Channel adapter. Then (s)he must create a virtual disk to reserve space within the EVA for your use. Finally the virtual disk must be presented to the Host created.

Next, you should reboot the server - in some environments it is not possible to use a simple rescan.
