Hope you're all doing well, as almost everyone here I need help. Here's the story:
I need to present a 400gb vdisk from the SAN (EVA 4000) to a Proliant BL20p G3 with W2K3 Std and QLA2312 mezzanines. It has two of them, the fiber is connected to the one that says HBA Instance 1 and SAN Surfer shows it as Good.
The configurations I did at the switch level where:
1. Identify the port the server is connected to.
2. Create a new alias and add the respective port to it.
3. Added two zones, one for the server only and one for the server and the 2 HSV's.
4. Added the newly created server alias also to the EVA zone.
5. Added the zone containing the server and 2 HSV's to the config.
6. Save the config.
At Command View I did the following:
1. Added the new host, defining only the OS type and hostname parameter leaving everything else with it's defautl values.
2. For Port settings for the host I added the Device Port WWN and Device Node WWN detected by the switch.
3. Presented the disk to the host.
At the host level:
1. Restarted the Host.
For troubleshooting:
1. Updated the mezzanine drivers to the latest.
2. Installed SAN Surfer
Pretty long story huh? Well as the title clearly states, after all that, the host is still unable to see the disk. I don't have to much experience in this, so ask anything that you assume I took into account which I probably didn't. I'm not sure if when creating the host on the Command View I should use those ports I mentioned or the Switch Port WWN instead, although I tried it and it didn't work either.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mario

SolutionAlso, when you added the host ports in Command View, did you use the drop down options or manually enter them? If prefer the former as it reduces potential errors.
Hope that helps,

Re: SAN disk not seen by W2K3 Std
By enabling the config I'll assume that you mean the button next to save config that says Enable Config. Does this mean that the changes I make to the config are only applied to the switches when I enable it even if it's already working? I think I forgot to mention that I only have one config.
Regarding the ports, in the drop down list I didn't see either the Port WWN or the Device/Node WWN so I manually entered it.
I'll try the Enable Config button and let you tomorrow I guess cause I'll have to do it tonight (I have an Oracle 10g RAC working there also).
