Also the HP ACU does not see the SAN.
Using Windows 2003 and planning to cluster.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHSGs are usually managed from a command-line via the serial maintenance port or (if you're a masochist ;-) from a GUI called the StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC).
Do you have a cable for the maintenance port? If not, the first thing you should do is get at least one - you WILL need it some day!

Re: Disk drive creation
I ran into some problems later when I created some access lists and set the preferred path on the array and ran the qlogic SanSurfer utility after everything was working. I now can't start the cluster and can't see the array. So I am backtracking to see if I did everything the right way. I am suspecting that the order I did things caused the problem. Planning on doing it from scratch again so I would like to confirm some of the steps involved.
thanks

Re: Disk drive creation
But you should not see more disks than you have created Units on the MA8000. It sounds like you have configured redundant paths, but you are missing a multipath filter. For the MA8000 this is an extra-cost option called 'Secure Path'.
An MSCS cluster will not work properly without multipath filtering and Windows 2003 does not work properly if you configure your MA8000 from MULTIBUS_FAILOVER to a simple (controller-failover) DUAL-REDUNDANCY.

Re: Disk drive creation
I am not familiar with Secure path program does the Qlogic Sansurfer utility that controls the dual HBA's in each server do the same thing?
I have the controllers connected to two switches.
sorry for my lack of understanding on this. I received this MA8000 from our Unix group which ran this on Linux and Solaris. And what they showed me may not apply in windows
