Re: Missing FC Links to VA7100 disk array

Check on the switch:

- if it can see both, server and array
- zoning

on the array:

- if secure manager is enabled, check settings

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Missing FC Links to VA7100 disk array

All,
It turns out that the VA7100 Controlers were configured as "Private Loop" and not "Fabric". I connected to the VA7100 controller serial port and made the change. Then, I rebooted the Fibre Switches, and confirmed the connections from the switch to the VA7100 and the switch to the two HBAs in the HP Servers. At the same time, I forced the Fibre Switches to use 2GB port speed.
After rebooting the servers, the IOSCAN output displays both physical FC paths to the VA7100 LUNs.
