HPUX HBA issue

[kholikt]

I have a machine with two HBA card. Each HBA has two ports. The machine is direct connected to a EMC CX500, no fiber switch. The hba /dev/fcd0 is working fine since it can detect it is a loop. However, the other HBA /dev/fcd3 is not working it keep going to fabric mode. I was told that HP HBA is autosensing, is there anyway I can overwrite this behaviour.

0/4/1/1: Fibre Channel Driver at /dev/fcd3 is being reset
gvid: ATI Radeon 7000 not supported on this hardware
0/4/1/0: Fabric Name Server rejected GPN_FT query.
Reason code: unable to perform request;
Explanation: FC-4 Type not registered.
This may indicate that the HBA port is not part of a zone.
Please check zone configuration on your switch.

Notice the status:

Previous Topology = PTTOPT_FABRIC

"previous"!!!

Driver state = AWAITING_LINK_UP

there is no link established yet.
Inspect the connection.

Hi,

Physically we have changed the FC cable as well as the HBA cards but still the same. Anyway we are sure that the physical connection is fine. I have tried fcmsutil /dev/fcd3 reset but no luck any idea

"AWAITING_LINK_UP" clearly indicates there is no link!

You probably need to check the connection/cable/array settings again.

EMC CX500 allows to configure host-ports in fabric or p2p/loop mode. Check, that all host-ports on EMC storage configured to be in p2p or loop mode.
