Can`t see MSA1000 WWINs at host side

Hello, All.

Please help in this situation:

I have MSA1000 (firm v.4.32 build 300, Hw Rev.7) connected (was tried via MSA Fabric switch 6 or via IO module + SAN switch) with host (tried Alpha ES40 + HBA FCA-2354/LP9002 firm v.392A2 and Alpha 4100 + HBA KGPSA/LP8000 firm v.391A1).
At host adapters was tried in FABRIC and LOOP topologies (usually in FABRIC).
At MSA1000 controller all disks has identifiers (CLI>set unit_id , where u=i=0..6).
At MSA1000 controller I see connections from HBA, at swith see links from all points also...
But I never see WWIDs in SRM-console (typed P00>>>wwidmgr -show wwid), and, of course, I can`t use LUNs.
WHY? WHERE I AM WRONG?

WWIDMGR will usually list a LUN even when no identifier has been set - in that case the UDID is shown as -1.

The embedded MSA Fabric Switch 6 is not supported with AlphaServers and I recall a previous thread where somebody else has already tried it, too. Unsuccessful.

Double check your connection "profiles" are set to the correct host OS and ACL's are not restricting access.

Thanks, All !

After I assign Profile=OpenVMS (at controller CLI) all of WWIDs are available :)) , but only in cofiguration with IO-module + external switch, so Fabric Switch 6 really not applicable in Alpha-segment... :(
