Re install MSA30

[Torsten.]

If your MSA30 is connected with 4 cables, on each bus 1 HBA must be set to 6, the other HBA to 7.

Do you use HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31)???
(run "uname -a")

Unlikely, because the vgdisplay output would look different.

More talk with you, more think that our provider doesnt knows a bit about HP.

11.11 is our version.

I don't know much also, but at least i know my limitations.

There is something i cant understand:

you said:
ctl 9 0/3/1/1.6.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator
/dev/rscsi/c7t6d0

Already changed, but i need to change also /dev/mpt6

I see at ioscan the following lines:

ext_bus 6 0/3/1/0 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt6
ext_bus 4 0/4/1/0 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt4
ext_bus 7 0/3/1/1 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt7
ext_bus 5 0/4/1/1 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt5


doesnt mean that initiator id for /dev/mpt6 is set to 6 ??

Please run "olrad -q" to see the relation between the hardware path and the slot number.

In your rp3410 server, the relation is like this:

0/4/1 - top slot
0/3/1 - second from top

Back to your ioscan, this is important:

ext_bus 6 0/3/1/0 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt6
target 8 0/3/1/0.7 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
ctl 6 0/3/1/0.7.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator
/dev/rscsi/c6t7d0
ext_bus 7 0/3/1/1 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 1
/dev/mpt7
target 14 0/3/1/1.6 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
ctl 9 0/3/1/1.6.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator
/dev/rscsi/c7t6d0

This is the card in the "second from top" slot.
The card has a dualbus controller, 1 is set to ID 6 (0/3/1/1.6.0 ... Initiator), 1 to 7 (0/3/1/0.7.0 ... Initiator).

If your cable goes like this:

HBA in 0/3/1 -> MSA A1 : A2 -> HBA in 0/4/1

and

HBA in 0/3/1 -> MSA B1 : B2 -> HBA in 0/4/1

I would set both controllers on the card in 0/3/1 to "6" - in this case
/dev/mpt6
and
/dev/mpt7

The card in 0/4/1 must remain at ID 7 for both controllers.

Doing this, you have the following IDs on each bus:

7 - the first HBA
0
1
2
3
4
5
8 - the disks (fixed)
15 - the chassis controller (fixed)
6 - the second HBA

Every ID is unique - this is important.

Clear enough now?

[Guillermo Rossney]

I think more clear is not possible.
Thank you very much!

We will work on this today, and we'll comment later.

Thanks again!

[Guillermo Rossney]

Long and Last, it seeems as job is finished.

Could you please take a look to the last ioscan?

mptconfig for each device seems ok:

Device File : /dev/mpt4
Hardware Path : 0/4/1/0
Initiator SCSI ID : 7

Device File : /dev/mpt5
Hardware Path : 0/4/1/1
Initiator SCSI ID : 7

Device File : /dev/mpt6
Hardware Path : 0/3/1/0
Initiator SCSI ID : 6

Device File : /dev/mpt7
Hardware Path : 0/3/1/1
Initiator SCSI ID : 6


Again, thanks for your time, help and assistance.
We are in doubt with you!

[Guillermo Rossney]

I forgot the attachment!

[Guillermo Rossney]

Again.

[Torsten.]

It looks good.
Everything is working now?

(if yes, please consider to assign some points)

Have fun!
