Not logged into fabric on controller Eva8k and Brocade 4/16

[Dmitryi Anosov]

Hi, guys. Thanks for answers.

Zoning is off. Controllers is normal. We have only two connection by controller,not 4,HP engineer insalled Eva with one fc connection to each switch from each controlled. We cannot power down Eva - is very critical. Also we power down switch A - no results. connection from rx6600 - status of port F-port,connection from another switch (blade) is E-port -- all rigth. But only together switches (A and B) is U-Port

[Dmitryi Anosov]

I'm noob in this qastion. I think, may be problem in configutarion on switches? May be balansing and any else?

[Marcus Schack]

Ok, I have to ask why the HP engineer did not configure the EVA with all ports connected? Did you not have enough ports in the switches?

[Marcus Schack]

Can you log into both switches and do a "VIEW REPORT" it is under switch ADMIN. Then copy the info into a txt file and post it here?

[Dmitryi Anosov]

Hi. Yes, there is 16 port on switch, but I didn't know, for wich count license exist.

If license only for 8 ports, so 3 is free (also one connection from blade condition E- Eport - I don't wrote about this)

[Dmitryi Anosov]

Yes , I try find logs and reports and post here

Hello Dmitryi

I see that you have two switches in Fabric A and two switches in Fabric B. One thing you need to change is that each switch needs to have its own unique DOMAIN ID. They are currently all set to 1, which is not correct.

Secondly, go into Switch Admin and then find the ports and ensure that the first two ports are enabled and also see if you can set them to F-PORT.

Have you tried different cables?

Are the lights on the EVA controller green for the ports that are going to Switch A?

[Marcus Schack]

You fibre cables that go from the EVA to Switch A, are the ends one piece. In other words, can you switch the end left to right or is the plug one piece and only goes in one way?
