Re: How to activate 2nd FC port on NSR2402
Yes, I've utilized both ports on the NSR. My configuration was not HA however, and you have to be sure your software understands what you're trying to do with multiple paths.
In terms of what you're seeing, I suspect that the port is not configured correctly. Notice that on the NSR each port is independent and needs to be configured individually.
Are both Fabrics running the same topology (N-Port, 1 Gig or 2, etc).
Your best bet may be to just try and copy the settings from one port to the second. The next step would be looking at the other side of your fibre link.
Thanks,
John

Re: How to activate 2nd FC port on NSR2402
But on Port 0: the Link is UP, on Port 1: the link is DOWN. Switching the FC cables doesn't help either. And connecting Port 1 only, also gives no joy.
Don't think its a hardware problem, as we have 3 of them and they all act the same. So my best guess is thats somehow "Software" related.
Fibre Channel Configuration : Module 0, Port 0
Link Status: UP/FABRIC
Port Name: 0x100000E0 02028B4A
Port Mode: N_Port Mode
Use Hard ALPA: No
Discovery Mode: Auto Discovery on Reboot Events
Buffered Tape Writes: Enabled, Queue Depth = 1
Current Default Map: 'Indexed'
Performance: 2 GigaBit
Fibre Channel Configuration : Module 0, Port 1
Link Status: DOWN
Port Name: 0x100000E0 02028B4B
Port Mode: N_Port Mode
Use Hard ALPA: No
Discovery Mode: Auto Discovery on Reboot Events
Buffered Tape Writes: Enabled, Queue Depth = 1
Current Default Map: 'Indexed'
Performance: 2 GigaBit

Re: How to activate 2nd FC port on NSR2402
From the 5.3.0b release notes:
"FC Link will not initialize if multiple FC ports are in use". The 4.03.25 firmware introduced an issue where the controller FC link might not initialize after a controller reboot (cold or warm) if multiple ports are in use.
Here's a link to the 5.3.0b firmware:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software2/COL3566/co-12621-3/5.3.0b_fw_winston_x.dlx
This firmware is for use with the telnet/ftp/serial interface (not HP LTT).

Re: How to activate 2nd FC port on NSR2402
On the NSR Web Interface, select "Report" from Main menu.
Select "Printable View".
From explorer, use "File -> Save as" and save as "web page complete" to whatever name you want.
You can email the .htm file to ltt_team@hp.com
The engineers are divided as to whether 5.3.0b will resolve your problem, but it is certainly worth trying.
Given their uncertainty, you might want to generate the report page before updating firmware and we'll get started reviewing it.

Re: How to activate 2nd FC port on NSR2402
While checking the report, i came upon a lot of errors (why didn't i check that before....)
66ms 653us >>> Received a Link Failure on port: 0x1
0ms 0us >>> LOSS OF SIGNAL, or Out of Sync. Check Link Module and its connections.
0ms 0us >>> LASER FAULT
0ms 0us >>> Out of Sync. Resetting iTR
50ms 9us >>> Tachyon port: 0x1 entered non-participating mode!
0ms 0us >>>Elastic store ERROR(s) on port: 0x1
Not that it would change anything ofcourse, we have 3 of them and they all have these errors. And as mentioned above, switching cables that work on port 0: doens't help.
And while i am add it, some more information from our NSR.
