vms 8.3-1H1 cannot see the lun on EVA

The environment details:
1 EVA4400 can see the fc ports on the hosts(2 RX6600) when add hosts in command view(9.2). the VDISKs are presented to the hosts and the os unit id is also set according to VMS requirement.
2 the host is RX6600 with 2 FC HBA(AB378B). the O/S is OpenVMS 8.3-1H1(on local disk, )patch update 8.The O/S cannot see the presented VDISKs.

The problems we found:
1 Under OpenVMS there are 2 FC HBAs(FGA and FGB). but cannot find PGA/PGB.
2 the FGA and FGB are both offline(show dev fg/full)
3 Fatal Error happend when mc sysman io auto/log

So I think the problem lies in the host or O/S not EVA. Is the problem related to efiscanlevel? We do not want SAN boot just can use the lun on the EVA at first stage.
Your reply is greatly appreciated.

Re: vms 8.3-1H1 cannot see the lun on EVA

There seems to be a problem for OpenVMS I64 to talk to the local fibre channel adapters. There should be errlog entries for FGA/FGB, analyze them with WEBES/SEA.

Can you post the SYSMAN IO AUTO error messages ?

Did you follow the installation guide for these adapters:

http://docs.hp.com/en/AB378-96002/index.html

FG devices mean Emulex adapters and as far as I know these are not supported on Itanium. You should have a Qlogic adapter which is quite different.

Re: vms 8.3-1H1 cannot see the lun on EVA

Jur,

example from a working OpenVMS I64 V8.3 system (rx4640) CLUE CONFIG output:

FGA: 1 Qlogic ISP2312 Fibre

This AB378B adapter seems to be supported on rx6600 with OpenVMS I64 V8.3 (or higher) according to the Qlogic Fibre Channel Host Bus Adpater Matrix:

http://www.qlogic.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Solutions/HP/white_papers/DRAFT05_HPmatrix051608.pdf

Please post the output of SDA> CLUE CONF/ADAPT and FC SHOW PORT FGA

Re: vms 8.3-1H1 cannot see the lun on EVA

This adapter is supported. And the driver is the most recent one available (from VMS831H1I_FIBRE_SCSI-V0600).

Log a call with HP.

Re: vms 8.3-1H1 cannot see the lun on EVA

Note that you can also try to analyse the FGA and FGB ERRLOG entries. Install WEBES on your laptop/PC, copy ERRLOG.SYS and try to translate the errors. It might give you an idea what's wrong...
