Can not initialise eva 4400

[ACHCHGUY]

Brand new eva 4400 and brand new dl360 g5 for Command view.

Cable up and all is good

its a 2c1d
has 12 disks installed.

Install windows Server 2003 standard sp2

Then run eva smart start to install command view 8.0.1

Fibre channel card is HPAE312a

I can not initialise the SAN.

The error I get from the EVA smart start is

"You do not have enough disks to create a storage cell" (strange I have 12).

Firmware of eva is 09001000
OCP Firmware is : 1.00.00.080211

I am aware that these are old (from factory like that).

But I can not do a firmware update until the san is initialised.

I have replaced the fibre also just to check

The Command view Server is "direct" attached and I have changed that in the OCP and COnnection and status for that are Green.

I can see the san in command view....but when I go to click on it I get error that it can't communicate with san

Hi,

you could check the SAN zoning of the Command view server with EVA4400 FC front ports

the latest EVA 4400 firmware is here:

In Command View do you see the disk enclosure and all the disks?
