attach HP-UX 11.23 to EVA6400, server does not see LUN

I'm trying to attach an HP-UX 11.23 server to a LUN on an EVA6400.  This server is already attached to an existing EVA8000 with several LUN's presented.

 

I ran "ioscan -fnC disk", and it appears that the server sees the disk on the 6400:

*************************************************

disk 132 0/4/1/0.12.0.0.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV400
/dev/dsk/c8t0d1 /dev/rdsk/c8t0d1


disk 131 0/4/1/0.12.14.0.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV400
/dev/dsk/c30t0d1 /dev/rdsk/c30t0d1


disk 133 0/4/1/1.22.0.0.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV400
/dev/dsk/c32t0d1 /dev/rdsk/c32t0d1

 

disk 134 0/4/1/1.22.14.0.0.0.1 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP HSV400
/dev/dsk/c34t0d1 /dev/rdsk/c34t0d1

*************************************************

 

Then I run insf -e, and I can see that the server installs the drivers for the disks it sees during the ioscan:

 

insf: Installing special files for sdisk instance 132 address 0/4/1/0.12.0.0.0.0.1
insf: Installing special files for sdisk instance 133 address 0/4/1/1.22.0.0.0.0.1
insf: Installing special files for sdisk instance 134 address 0/4/1/1.22.14.0.0.0.1
insf: Installing special files for sdisk instance 131 address 0/4/1/0.12.14.0.0.0.1

*************************************************

 

Then I run "autopath discover" which says it's successful

 

But when I run "autopath display", the server does not see the new disk.

 

autopath display -c  and -r   tell me that the server does not see the array controller on the 6400 (it only sees the existing array.

 

Not sure what's wrong here.

 

Thank you,

Re: attach HP-UX 11.23 to EVA6400, server does not see LUN

Instead of just  "ioscan -fnC disk", try running ioscan with

 

# ioscan -f

 

followed by:

 

#  insf -e

 

then

 

# autopath discover

I got the same result.  ioscan -f gives me:

Then insf and 'autopath discover' and 'autopath display' give me the same result. I see no new disk to configure, unless I am missing something.

 

Thank you.

Re: attach HP-UX 11.23 to EVA6400, server does not see LUN

Does "autopath -r" lists both arrays?

 

Actually the EVA8000 is older than EVA6400. What is your SecurePath version? It's quite possible you may need to upgrade to the latest version. I think 3.0F SP4 is out now.

What's new with Secure Path 3.0F SP4 for Active-Active disk arrays

 

...

Provides support for Logical Units presented from HP StorageWorks disk arrays EVA6400/EVA8400

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the older version is not aware of the EVA6400 model.

 


Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: attach HP-UX 11.23 to EVA6400, server does not see LUN

Looks like we are on SecurePath3.0 sp2, if I read correctly. Thank you for the information!

 

autopath display -r shows only the existing 8000 array.
