Check your connection to the SAN and zoning configuration. Ensure that both are correctly setup.

Yes,the HBAs connected directly to the interconnect bay of the bladeserver and it seems OK in onboard administrator.
There is no zone configuared on the san switchs.

In the Attachment,the blade I want to use as a SMA at bay14

Hi,
Have You checked the port licence status from your SAN switch ? You have 4/12 license in there.

Yaah,this is the problem! Thank you very much.
BTW,the total 12 aviable ports was defined as 4 external and 8 internal or dynamic assigned(cloud it be 10 for blade and 2 for eva)?
Another question: there is 8 externel fc port on the rear of the switch, cloud I buy a license then upgrade to 4/24 switch?

Happy chinese mid-autumn festival!

Hi,

Port licensen can arranged how You want, but total port count is 12. So for example 11 blades and 1 external or 10 blades and 2 external ports at same time.
You can buy addtional port licence to upgrade your 4/12 license to 4/24.
