HP-UX 11.31 and MSA2312fc LUN mapping

[Oscar Orlando Erbetta]

HI!

I have an unusual problem. i have a MSA2312fc and a BL860c with HP-UX 11.31
On the MSA i've created 12 volumens (LUNs), under a single vdisk in RAID5. i created the zones on the san switch.

On the side of the HP-UX, i can view the correct paths of hardware if i do an ioscan -fn
so that leaves behind that it can be an issue on the san switch

ok, so the problem is that i can only see 8 LUNs on the HP-UX!!! Every LUN matches the right size assigned on the MSA.

I tried not mapping and mapping the LUNs to the host and seems fine... I re-created the vdisk and the volumes too

I don't know what it can be

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Try command
ioscan -m dsf

to find the all available path of the LUNs

[Oscar Orlando Erbetta]

i already done that

iosccan -fn
insf -e
ioscan -m dsf

the paths are OK, i can't see the 12 disks, only 8

bye

You need to present LUNs in HP-UX mode (not windows or anything else). Otherwise you cannot see more than 8 LUNs usually. Only the G2 of this MSA supports hp-ux.

Well, the term "present" doesn't come from de EVAs? That's why I put "mapping"...

Anyway, thanks for your reply, can you help telling me how to do the presentation?

Thanks

I never worked with this array so far, but it is all the same for all arrays - host mode must be hp-ux for hp-ux servers.

According to the manual there is a Server OS Type to be selected.

Found this in "HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide"

Bonjour Oscar,

recently worked with this kind of storage area and hp-ux 11.31. To modify Os type, expand folder "Hosts" in the "Configuration view" panel, select the host, then "Provisionning --> Rename Host". You will find a "Profile" box in which you must select "HP-UX"
