Question on VA7410 and enclosure cabling - HP Healthcheck

[Nick Wickens]

I was requested to run HP's Healthcheck routine and it has thrown up the following messages -

LCC JA0/C1: is connected to the wrong backend port, could impact performance!

LCC JA0/C2: is connected to the wrong backend port, could impact performance!

LCC JB1/C1: is connected to the wrong backend port, could impact performance!

LCC JB1/C2: is connected to the wrong backend port, could impact performance!

Now the system was installed by a VAR supplied HP engineer a few years back and we have not had a problem. But as a result of this I have gone back to the manuals, drawn up my topology as I read it and when checking the actual configuration it matches, I am therefore a little confused why this has thrown up other than the Healthcheck is reporting as if this was a 7400 SAN and not the twin looped 7410.

The current configuration is made up of one 7410 and two 2405 disk enclosures. Configuration is as follows -

Controller 1 port JBOD2 -> JB1/C1 Port 0
Controller 1 port JBOD1 -> JA0/C1 Port 0
Controller 2 port JBOD2 -> JB1/C2 Port 0
Controller 2 port JBOD1 -> JA0/C2 Port 0

Port 1's on both 2405 are empty.

As far as I can tell this is correct with 7410 loop 1 having the main controller disks and 1 enclosure and the other enclosure on its own loop.

Any advice appreciated.
