Tachyon Fiber card error
The Fibre Channel Driver received an interrupt from the
adapter indicating an Elastic Store Error Storm
Frame Manager Status Register = 0xa30004d0
I have replaced the cable, GBIC and tried a different port on the switch and still no luck.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I have a nasty feeling that its the fiber card thats failing:-(

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
Check the card status by fcmsutil.
For example,
#fcmsutil /dev/td0

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
Your nasty feeling is probably correct.
Check the physical media, lights in the card fcmsutil and prepare for a hardware service call.

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
Yup no lights on the card or where its connected at the SAN switch and I have just discovered that we do not have hardware support on this server!!!!!!
Not amused what so ever with this situation.
So will be restoring 250GB to a different server until I can get this issues resolved.

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
usually means the card is not seeing any incoming light. Whether this is because there is no light coming in or because the card has gone blind, remains to be seen.
Can you physically confirm that light is coming on the fibre from the switch and that the lit fibre is plugged into the RX connector? If all this is true, it looks like the card has failed and requires service.
If the card has a pluggable GBIC, try swapping that first. If the card has an integrated GBIC, you'll have to swap the card.
The optical components in some fibre cards and GBICs tend to run fairly hot. That causes them to age and eventually fail.
Always use at least two fibre cards with production servers! Even the alternate path configuration of a basic HP-UX 11.23 and below will protect you from card failures. 11.31 has built-in fibre load balancing, which is even better. If your OS/HW combination supports OLAR/OLRAD, you can even swap the failed card without shutting down the OS.

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
from the fcmsutil output it's clear that the card is not logged into the fabric. So if you tried a different port and cable and GBIC and whatever else, then the card itself is likely at fault.
Is this server connected to the SAN only via this single card ? (not recommended for production data). Looks like you have to replace it.

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
Yup I have tried a different fiber cable, different port and different GBIC and still no luck.
I did point out to the powers that be that we need two fiber cards in each server but they did not want to spend the extra money, typical eh!

Re: Tachyon Fiber card error
I think this should be fairly simple. Add masking to those LUNs for the new server (WWNs of the HBA(s)) and then import the affected volume groups. See vgimport(1m).
