vdisk h/w path is not detected

Dear All,

I have create 7 vdisks at EVA and also presented the LUNS from the host and detected by ioscan command whereas for my 8th vdisk i have created with 500gb at EVA and presented the LUNS also but it is not detecting by ioscan command. I executed this command frequently and waited for 20min even also that h/w is not detected.

May i know what will be reason?

Thanks!

Re: vdisk h/w path is not detected

you can check at the storage end , there must be a problem on the storage end or san switch.

Hi Prasanth,

The other vdisks are of size 200gb, 150gb, 60gb like that. I have created these vdisks under FATA disk group.
For all these vdisks i have detected the LUNS whereas only for 500gb disk.

Justnow, i tried to delete this 500gb and created with 200gb and presented the LUNS to the host at EVA level and i checked for these LUNS at O/S level by ioscan even though also the LUNS are not detected.

Hi Dear,

Please check at your storage end, that the LUN presented properly to the host or not,

Your remaining 7 LUNS getting means hope there is no problem with your SAN zoning.

In sever before ioscan just execute

#insf -e
#insf -eC disk

then check ioscan, Hope the disk will detect.

thanks,

Re: vdisk h/w path is not detected

just want to update you that sometimes you have wait for 5-10 minutes.

After presenting the LUN please run the ioscan command and the verify whether the new lun is showing or not. If not please run the insf -C disk command ,in the o/p you can see the new device file.
