Hi,
I'm using HSV-210 ( 2C18D ) , and the controllers are showing errors " FC loop misconfig " , while rebooting .

can anyone tell me what could be the issue ?

There are two loop switches are used with the configuration.

An EVA-8000/8100 2C18D uses four loop switches. This box is a very complicated piece of technology - please get help from a qualified engineer, otherwise you risk losing data if you experiment yourself. Maybe it is a swapped cable, but such diagnostic is really beyond what a public forum can do.

Hi,
check if there are no disks in the following disk enclosures 16, 17, 19, 20 /bays 12-14 pls. These bays AL-PAs can conflict with the contollers AL-PAs or with the 4GB backend loop switches. Resume: Use of these slot is unsupported

Thanks for all the inputs .
As, i had some constraints in making 2C18D setup ( change in requirements ) , i finally made 2C12D configuration , successfully. :)
