Re: Linuz on Alpha servers
I'm not convinced at this point you are actually using certified hardware.

Re: Linuz on Alpha servers
I would as a first step try with the WWIDMGR at console level to identify the LUNs.
As I don't know how experienced you are, some hints:
- make sure that the fibre channel adapters in the ES45s appear as connections on the EMA and assign them the proper operating system type
- make sure that the connections are granted access to the units unless they run with ENABLE_ACCESS_PATH=ALL
- look on the AlphaServer console:
>>> wwidmgr -show wwid

Re: Linuz on Alpha servers
- the FCA2354 is an Emulex adapter
- for Linux on Alpha it looks like you need the 167433-B21 / DS-SWLA4-PD adapter which is, as far as I can tell, a QLogic adapter. According to the web page it is a retired product. There is no Secure path for Alpha.
So, unless I have missed something it looks like there is no Fibre Channel support for Alpha/Linux available from HP.

Re: Linuz on Alpha servers
just to throw in another grain of Salt, you are aware that Redhat (I suppose that is the 7.2 you refer to) does not support Alpha anymore. So, if you are setting up this as a new system (as it seems), I'd look for a distro that has continued support for Alpha. You might want to
give debian (www.debian.org) a spin, not sure about others.

Re: Linuz on Alpha servers
The professional (Enterprise) releases (the AS series only) supported them for a while, but I can no longer find any references to it's availablity.
The latest comparison shows:
http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/comparison/
No Alpha support for any RH Enterprise product listed.
