Problem with SAN SWITCH 16

[Max Sorokin]

Hi All, we have a SAN, which you can see in attachment file called san.jpg. Both SAN SWITCH 16 has firmvare 2.6.1c and contain no zones. We have 2 clusters: 3 nodes production and 2 nodes test and 2 stand-alone server, all servers have True 64 Unix OS.
The problem is:
Alfa K and Alfa N (newest ES45) have two 2gbit FCA2684 HBAs (latest firmware installed), when we made full redundant configuration (2 HBA, 2 switches) these alphas see the EVA only thru one switch, all other alphas work without any problem, this mean each server has 2 connection to EVA at a time.

The lst of errshow and showshitch command of the suspicious switch:

hi,

is your switch firmware up to date ???

if not, upgrade it !!!!

[Max Sorokin]

We update switch firmware up to 2.62D, but problem still exist

[salla hocam ya]

it is possible that there is a problem in the switch ports that you connect this hosts. have you tried another ports..

good luck.

[Max Sorokin]

Yes, we try

[Georges Esteves]

your switch is 1Gb or 2GB ????


If 1 Gb did you try to set your HBA to 1 Gb ??

Hi, i have the same problem but with HSG80 connected to a port of the switch (SW2800-16ports 1GB, v2.6.2d). So i tried to swap switch port, Gbic on the switch, fiber and GLM in the disk controleur HSG80 bu the problem is still present. Tuesday i'll try to swap the HSG80 controler and the GLM. If you have some idea, i'm waiting.
