HBA's cannot see LUNS or SAN

BriMac — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:23:12 GMT

I am fairly new to Linux, I am a Novell NetWare Admin.

I have a DL380 G3, connected to a SAN via QLogic 2340 HBA's. The sewrver is running SLES10 SP2. The HBA's cannot see any luns or the SAN. I have installed SANSurfer and when I run this and change the configuration I get the message "Target persistent binding configuration is not supported on Linux Inbox Drivers."

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be good.

As described, disable the persistent binding on the HBA config. The binding is done through udev in Linux.

It's good if you install the proliant support pack.

Ensure that switch zoning configuration and disk mapping is correct.
