Using A1 and B1 gives us /dev/ciss4 and /dev/ciss5. This prohibits using RAID 1+0 over the whole array. We need one /dev/cissn to be able to create one logical RAID1+0 (e.g. saconfig /dev/ciss4 -R1+0 -p1:0 -p2:0 ... etc.).
Will moving cables to A1 and A2 produce just one /dev/cissn? Moving cables is, in current setting due to circumstances, very laborous and we would appreciate some confirmation that we are on the right track before proceeding.
Thanks for all help,
Samuli
P.S. HP-UX 11.11 and rp3440, patches from September 2005 and later

SolutionIn a short summary, a 6404 is more or less a combination of 2 6402.
So you can only combine A1 and A2 **OR** B1 and B2, but not any combination like A1 and B1 ...
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Older versions may have less functionality.

Re: Device drivers for 6404 controlled MSA30
In general, I know that the setup I am aiming at is possible - it has been done before. What is missing is confirmation that the cabling is what is prohibiting the correct setup in this case. It however seems that it might be worth making the effort and trying.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Device drivers for 6404 controlled MSA30
Example:
ext_bus 4 0/3/1/0/4/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCI-X SmartArray 6404 RAID Controller
/dev/ciss4
ext_bus 7 0/3/1/0/5/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCI-X SmartArray 6404 RAID Controller
/dev/ciss7
So you really need to use either both A or B connectors to connect the dual bus chassis.
For more information see

"HP Smart Array 6400 Series Controller Support Guide: HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, 11i v3"
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Device drivers for 6404 controlled MSA30
Connecting the two cables into wrong terminals divides the disks under two devices. Using saconfig as intented is not possible. RAID 1+0 is possible but only with spares.
Cheers,
Samuli
