Superdome

[CowBoy]

I Installed OS on my superdome via EVA8100 and now the FC that was bootable to load the OS was broken...!!!
how can i change the path of bootable FC and again run the OS?????

[Torsten.]

Is the server Itanium based or PA-RISC?

[Torsten.]

Do you have multiple pathes to the EVA LUN?
Did you change the FC HBA only?
Do you use another switch port now?

[CowBoy]

1-it is itanium based
2-i chanched just FC card.

[Torsten.]

Did you adjust your zoning (on switch) and presentation (on EVA) to match the new HBA WWN?

[CowBoy]

Hi
The problem is how can I change the boot path in EFI shell to bring up the OS...???

[Torsten.]

If you only replaced the HBA the path will remain the same.

BUT, if the switch and the EVA are not configured to accept the new WWN, you *cannot* connect to the LUN - hence no boot!

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

And again:

Do you have multiple pathes to the EVA LUN?


I'm sure you have an alternate path (configured).

Try to boot the alternate path.

[CowBoy]

I have multipath...
but i think the path physically will change???

[Torsten.]

Why should the path change?

The path depends on the internal path to the slot, the HBA, the switch and the LUN - so the path remains, if you replace the HBA only.


But a new HBA has a new WWN, you need to adjust the switch and the array to allow this new WWN to login.
