The problem I have is most of the time, the server refuses to boot (OpenVMS) saying that it failed to find the path configured.
If the node does eventually boot, it's fine, except whilst booting it clocks up thousands of errors as below :-
Name Value
In Bytes(MB) : 0.0
Out Bytes(MB): 0.0
In Frames : 0
Out Frames : 0
Frames Busied : 0
Frames Rejected : 0
Total Errors: 74188
My guess it's either a firmware revision problem, or some kind of negotiation going wrong.
Any help on setting this up correctly would be appreciated.
Rob.

SolutionFirst check for the latest firmware on the system and HBA and than I would fix the speed of the LP11002 and the switchport to 2Gb. If possible also fix the HBA to point-to-point. With these settings no autonegotiation is necessary and the link should come up.
If this doesn't help, please provide some more information about your configuration (firmware levels of system, adapters, SAN switch, consolelogging of a failed boot, etc.).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jaap Prenger

Re: rx3600 Failure To Find EVA Boot Disk
I tried to run EFIUTIL.EFI to gather FW levels on the card, but it reports no cards present.
I then downloaded the latest CD ISO from HP and tried to run that, but I then couldn't see the DVD drive.
I'm guessing from the fact the HBA's and DVD keep dropping in and out of hardware config, that the PCI bus is faulty or badly connected.
I'm going to attempt to check it myself, but as the server is a loan from HP, I guess they'd come out and check it for me.
Rob.

Re: rx3600 Failure To Find EVA Boot Disk
So, I'm probably back to hunting down firmware problems, or incompatibilities.

Re: rx3600 Failure To Find EVA Boot Disk
The port was set to 2GB, even though both ends support 4GB. As soon as I set the switch end to auto-negotiate, to port errors stopped.
