When trying to install a security table according to manual it gave me an "invalid parameter" error.
When trying to upgrade firmware (in order to solve previously noted problem) to ver. HP13, it gave me an "unable to complete" due to "current array state" ("ready", as far as I can see). Armdsp still shows it as using firmware rev. HP02, so I assume the firmware download was aborted at its inception and that no "halfway through" firmware is loaded.
Lately, when we added four disks to the original six pack it entered into a "balancing" mode, and it's been there for most of the evening (7 1/2 hours already) while giving an "advisory lock" to any configuration attempts (such as trying to enable hotspare, or trying to read the security table, in order to replace it with a new one).
Any ideas on solving at least one of these problems,... like by tomorrow morning?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
Thank you for the prompt response... you must be working real late or real early, anyhow...
I seem to have SDM version 1.01, I do have the 10Mb LUN 0, though some of the error messages I get refer to not being able to access /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0, which is precisely LUN 0.
Behavior on both controller ports is set to HP-UX,as it was since the unit was first configured, but I just did a double check on it through VFP and CommandView, just to be sure.
As you suggest, I'm holding up on the security issue for now.
I've checked the printed manual over and over... are there any updates on it available? We've downloaded some from the website, but we haven't had the chance to print them yet... don't know if they are very different.
Thanks again for the prompt answer!

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
Still can not load the security table or upgrade the firmware. Any ideas?
By the way. Garett should have had at least an 8. Sorry that I can't get back and upgrade the points...

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
If so does you sec. table look suchly:
DEFAULT null 0 WC
NODEWWN
NODEWWN
then the command to upload sec. table?
armsecure -c -w -f
The -c clears the table and disables the security, so armsecure -e -P
Having a look at the fw problem, in the meantime could you attach the output of your security table?

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
The "out" files as far as the sectable is concerned are "default" values assigned by the VA when the LUN's were created...
The "in" file is supposedly according to the manual formats...
Funny to remark. We were able to install a sectable before, and it worked fine... it was after we changed the LUN's that we were not able to load the sectable anymore.
Thanks again you all for your help.

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
Firstly, your inusetable...
DEFAULT null 0 WC
nodewwn 0x50060b000009d101 1 WC
nodewwn 0x50060b000009d101 2 WC
The nodewwn should be caps, NODEWWN. The second error is the WWN itself, I think you can safely get rid of the 0x in front of it. To get the CORRECT hostport WWN use the armtopology command.
Still looking at the firmware.

Re: VA7100 assorted woes
Looking at the manual, I think that the fw file must also be caps.
Check your firmware with the following:
armdownload -I C
then use the armdownload command again to get it to the controller, remembering that you only do it to one, the other will be automatically updated:
armdownload -C -O
Change the .FRM to .frm
