EVA5000 cannot communicate with controller

[jorgen325]

Emulex. Wonder if I can use HBAnywhere for that..

Hi,

If you can log on to each of the switches and issue these two commands:

switchShow
cfgShow

and post the output here, that should allow us to see enough of the configuration to work out what needs to be connected where...

Cheers,
Rob

switch2 cfgshow attached.

So it looks heavily zoned.

Zoning is enabled. To turn it off:
: cfdisable
: cfgclear
: cfgsave


:0 0 id N2 Online F-Port 50:00:1f:e1:50:05:8b:4d

Second EVA controller.


> 1 1 id N2 Online L-Port 1 public

A server whose port is runnig public FC_AL protocol.

The "nsShow" command will give us a better clue what is connected.


> 16 16 id N2 Online F-Port 50:00:1f:e1:50:05:8b:48

First EVA controller


> 18 18 id N2 Online G-Port

A port that has not logged in properly.
Maybe this helps:
: portdisable 18
wait a minute
: portenable 18

Do you need to keep the zoning ?

I'm guessing probably not, however if you do, then the EVA controllers look to be plugged into the wrong switch.

Also, the switchShow output shows that the management server isn't logging into the SAN.

Cheers,

Rob

No, do not need to keep, looks like it was from the last company. I will probably be configuring a new zone, but would be thrilled just to get it communicating first.
Will go try this now.

Thanks again!

I believe that did it!

Now I have to learn how to use the damn thing...

Clear Zoning.
