Re: Qlogic HBA FC card is not detecting in Vmware ESX 4.1
I remember there were some driver issues
you may try the latest Qlogic driver

Re: Qlogic HBA FC card is not detecting in Vmware ESX 4.1
What could be the problem,
Kinldy find the attached LED details.
All the LED is glowing sometimes (not detecting that time) and sometimes glowing only yellow LED (detecting that time).
i guess this might be firmware issue,
help from the experts appreciated, and need help on steps to upgrade the drivers in vmware ESX 4.1.
Thanks,
Ashok S T

Re: Qlogic HBA FC card is not detecting in Vmware ESX 4.1
I have upgraded to latest qlogic driver (Downloaded from the QLOGIC site) and hp firmware and BIOS, still the same issue we are facing.
I could not find out what could be the promblem.
One think i absorbed is we are not able to connect the ESXi 4.1 server from ESXi client when that defective HBA has connected. If i remove the connection (OFC cable from the defective QLOGIC HBA, while the other working HBA is connected always) we are able to connect from the ESXi client.
LED status it is glowing all three continuously (yellow, green and amber)
Thanks in advance,
Ashok S T

Re: Qlogic HBA FC card is not detecting in Vmware ESX 4.1
sorry for the late response.
Your observation seems to be correct as its happening only with one HBA even after upgrading the latest driver.
So I guess, you need to consider replacing this HBA. you may log a case with HP to get it replaced.
thanks,
Aftab

Re: Qlogic HBA FC card is not detecting in Vmware ESX 4.1
The issue is with the hardware PCI slot.
HP team has encountred the problem by swapping the FC card and network card in the PCI slot.
So they have ordered the new IO board. Now both HBA is working fine and one network card is not functioning in the defective PCI slot.
Thanks for All.
I will update the status once they replace the IO board.
