Virtual Array not recognized n HPUX

Paul.Caviness — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:10:21 GMT

I have a VA 2400 (A6214-60100) attached to an HP L2000 (HP-UX maycardb B.11.11 U 9000/800) over a fiber network. I have SDM 1.09.02. When I run armdiscover, the drives are located, but evidently not the array. armdsp -i returns no devices found. All of the drives are visible in ioscan, but not any LUNS. This array does not have a serial interface, so I am unable to run VFP. I have deleted the device database, restarted HADial and even attemtped from another server.

I assume you have a typo and it's VA7400. so we'll go with that. Does the array have a LUN 0 (configration LUN, typically 10MB in size) that is visable to that host? I would check on that first. HP-UX likes to see that LUN for management of the array.

Sincerely,

Curt

The issue was that we only have interface cards. Evidently this array was a slave. I have ordered the proper controller cards. I appreciate your response.
