Problem with alternate links

[Benoît]

Well I guess some configuration is missing for this LUN on the VA7400.
SAM shows 4 paths for every LUN on every server, except for this LUN.
Every server see this LUN with only 2 paths.

So I need a VA specialist :-)

Thanks.

Ben,

Are your running secure manager?

[Benoît]

I guess it's running ...
Can't check ... nobody has the password ...

The default password is AUTORAID.

armsecure -r -f /tmp/securetable.txt -p AUTORAID arrayname

This will write the security table to /tmp/securetable. I think you can get the arrayname from armdsp -i

I may be off base here, but have you tried any spmgr commands. Do a man on spmgr to see what I'm talking about.

[Charles McCary]

Of course, I'm assuming you're running secure path, you may not be.

[Benoît]

That's very good informations guys.
It might help.

I'll be on-site on monday and I'll test that.

Thanks

There is a secure manager virtual array guide which I can't find on http://docs.hp.com right now. I've got a paper version (very old) part number T1003-90903. Things will have changed since then.

Secure manager basically says this WWN can see this LUN, you should have entries in the table for all your LUNs, maybe two entries are missing?

Secure Path resolves LUN paths so that you only see one LUN once, rather than four times, seems like you don't have this installed, which means you're doing something else to sort out your paths.

Anyway good luck and have a great weekend.

Hi guys!

I'm not running Secure Path.

I found solution using default password for Secure Manager.
Thanks Gavin!

Once the configuration done for concerned LUNs I could see my other paths.

Thanks guys!
You just solved a big old problem.

[Gavin Clarke]

Wow, that exceeded my expectations.

Should I suggest you think about changing your secure manager password? To something very memorable if you're anything like me.
