Added four disks to rx6600, but use command "ioscan" can't indentify them, why ?

[study unix]

Hello masters,
please kindly provide your thread as title,thanks!

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

ioscan -fn -> try with full scan
insf -e -> install special (device) files

ioscan -fnC disk

[Kapil Jha]

ioscan -f
insf -e

check in /dev/dsk if new devices have been created by
ls -lrt (last created)

If still its not recognised and these are SAN disk check zoning/masking,
if local disk or other reinsert the disk.

BR,
Kapil+

Hi All,
it is not indentified these disks via ioscan even though using comnmand insf -e,
but strangely, these disks can be seen in EFI with "map",thanks!

Are you suing the default SAS controller or a P400 Smart array?

[study unix]

Hi Torsten,
Use p400 controller, thanks!

[Torsten.]

So you *cannot* see them in ioscan!

Disks are under p400 control only.

Get the device file (e.g. ciss2) and do

# saconfig /dev/ciss2

# sautil /dev/ciss2

[study unix]

Hi Torsten,
where should it use command as below, OS or EFI?
# saconfig /dev/ciss2

# sautil /dev/ciss2

[Torsten.]

From the OS, but use the right /dev/ciss_ file!


Once you have seen the disks, create some logical drives and you will see these LUNs from OS in ioscan.

BTW, I doubt if you can see them in EFI's map command ... ;-)
