HBA not logging in to SAN Fabric via FlexFabric 20/40 F8

Hello,

one of our customers has a new c7000 enclosure with BL460 G9 Blades. The enclosure has 2 FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Virtual Connect modules (FW 4.50). The blades have 630FLB Adapters. LOM1:1-b and LOM1:2-b are configured as FlexHBAs and have factory-assinged WWNs.

The Fabric Uplinks are connected using Ports X5 and X6. Both ports of Bay 1 are connected to one fabric, both ports of the Bay 2 are connected to another fabric. The SAN Switches are Brocade 5100 running FOS 7.4.1 . The SAN Ports are NPIV-capable and enabled and have Fill-Word 3 set. The uplinks are online and in VC manager I can see the WWN of the connected SAN switches.

But no FC NPIV device logs into the SAN. All I can see are the Port WWNs of the FlexFabric Ports (e.g. 20:04:00:11:0a:04:7e:80). The port should be reporting the number of NPIV devices, but there are none logging in. I've tried disabling/enabling the ports and running a redistribute on VC manager.

Running a nodefind command in the SAN for the WWPN of the HBAs returns nothing. I don't see these devices anywhere in the SAN. The Server Adapter port reports not logged in.

Any ideas as to what is going wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Have you installed OS on this servers or they are disabled?
