Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Dear community, I'm in trouble with OpenVMS 8.4

I have 2 servers RX3600 connected to MSA1000 controller via SCSI. I make an OS backup booting from internal server disk (OpenVMS 8.4). Then I cheange the controller from MSA1000 to HP 3par 7200 with fiber connection..

I boot again from internal server boot disk, to restore the backup, but OpenVMS cannot see the new controller (ALREADY AND PROPERLY CONFIGURED) most probably due to missing driver.

Is there any other way to restore the image backup now? I'm stuck with server down.......

Thank you

Lucas

Re: Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Lucas,

  There problem is most likely not a 'missing driver' - a VMS boot disk/system image contains all "drivers" that are needed to talk to o/s supported hardware. I would focus on the issue of the system not seeing the 3PAR LUNs. Double check your zoning, etc.

 The backup commands (except for device spec) are the same to restore an image saveset no matter what the "controller" is.

Re: Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Lucas,

OpenVMS I64 V8.4 seems to require patch VMS84I_FIBRE_SCSI_V0500 (or later) for 3PAR support.

See:   HP 3PAR OpenVMS Implementation Guide (JUN-2014)

http://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5044394&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c04262691

Re: Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Thank you for response.

The problem there is that boot disk is an installation disk without 3par drivers.... So If I boot from this internal disk I cannot see the 3par. As I said 3par is correctly configured, so LUNs are ok.

Re: Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Lucas,

can OpenVMS V8.4 configure the FC HBAs ? Does a FGA and/or FGB device exist ?

Does MC SYS$ETC:FIBRE_SCAN find any SAN controllers and LUNs ?

Note: this is OpenVMS, ALL the possible drivers are existing on the 'installation' disk. It may just be missing patches (for OpenVMS to configure the HBAs or 3PAR)

OK, this is the actual situation. EFI can see the disk from 3par:

Re: Restoring IMAGE BACKUP to other Controller

Lucas,

OpenVMS patch level seems to be o.k. (VMS84I_UPDATE-V0900 includes VMS84I_FIBRE_SCSI-V0500).

UPDATE: the NOV-2014 'HP 3PAR OpenVMS Implementation Guide' now lists 'VMS84I_FIBRE_SCSI-V0600 (or later) as a requirement ! 

The EFI device mapping table looks as expected regarding the 3PAR LUNs..

Has the Host OS been defined as 'OpenVMS' on the 3PAR ?

I'm gettin crazy... Yes, hosts are set for OVMS on 3par.
