EMC 8530 / Brocade 3800's / HPUX 10.20 on K420 @ current patch levels w/ A3404A fibre cards (arbitrated loop)
Problem:
At boot time, when the volume group vg01 is trying to activate, it complains about not being able to see the disk in the vg, so the vg doesn't get activated. After the box is up (run level 4), the vg can be activated and the file systems mounted without a problem.
It would appear that the fibre channel drivers are not loading early enough.
Thanks for any help,
Steve.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Fibre attached VG not activating
Check if there are any missing LUNs configured to be seen from host

Re: Fibre attached VG not activating
Just to be clear, the HBA's are going through the 3800's using quickloop.
I don't see the LUNS you say are configured (0,16,17,18,19,122), even in the dmesg, I may be reading it wrong. vg01 only has t2d0, t2d1, t2d2, t2d3.
I should mention that this is a server recently created from a current Ignite tape, with the vg's imported. The old hardware used SCSI to connect to disk, so the fibre is new to this config, and maybe the Ignite didn't set something up correctly?

Re: Fibre attached VG not activating
t2d0 = LUN16, t2d1 = LUN17, t2d2 = LUN18, t2d3 = LUN19.
All these LUNs are seen on server's startup time. Did you install latest FC driver? Did you patch system (GR and HW enablement)?

Re: Fibre attached VG not activating
You can to the following test:
- boot to single-user mode;
- mount all '/etc/mount -a';
- issue ioscan to see that all these LUNs are seen;
- issue pvdisplay for ALL these disks within vg01 and check all outputs to see if there's anything wrong
