insf -e doesn't create device files

Tim Killinger — Thu, 15 May 2003 10:14:40 GMT

Both before and after I did a cold install of UX on our rp5450, insf -e does not create the device files for the 13 luns on our locally attached va7100. armdsp -i diplays the existing LUNS beautifully. A fresh install of commandview 1.06 on a fresh install of UX, the VA7100 is at HP16 (HP18 next week).

We had this exact problem before the cold install...

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!!

If you do an ioscan -e, can you see your LUN's?
If you can, devices are showing NOHW, UNCLAIMED ?

Actually here's only LUN 0 listed. I would recommend to:
- check host behavior table and/or default host behavior to be hpux;
- check VA security table (if security is turned on). Remember: if host's HBA is not listed in security table then it means that host will have no access to LUNs. But what about LUN 0 host sees? In usual configurations LUN 0 is assigned 'WC' access for all hosts, thus visible for everyone.
More information needed? Attach 'armdsp -a' output to your next reply

Very good. Security is enabled. Run
armsecure -r -f sec_tbl.txt -p va7100
and look into sec_tbl.txt file contents. If you wish your hpux host to see, for example, LUN 5, you should insert a string
NODEWWN 50060b0000021b49 5 WC
with hosts's HBA WWN and download it back to VA using
armsecure -w -f sec_tbl.txt -p va7100

PS. is VA's security password
