Windows 2008 / SAN Switch / MSA 2000 FC issue

Yaboto — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:24:39 GMT

Hi,

I have newly installed my MSA storage, connected it to a SAN switch and configured it in the same zone as my windows 2008 server.
But my windows 2008 Enterprise server could not detect the MSA 2000 FC.

Is there any futher thing I need to do for my windows 2008 to detect the MSA ?

Please help !

Did you also enable the config on the san switch? Just saving the config is not enough. The zoning config must be enabled to make it effective.
Can you see the server WWNs when you are configuring selective storage presentation on the MSA2000?

Just to be totally aware. Did you load up the HBA drivers and MPIO? Go back to the switch and click on the Admin tab and check the ENABLED config. As per the previous reply you may have saved the config, but not ENABLED the config.
