AUTOPATH : no SecurePath device found

[Sami Kerola]

I was ioscan to print EVA 8000 disks but I still got error message.

prompt> autopath display

AUTOPATH : no SecurePath device found

That's actually RTFM problem. I first needed to discover autopath devices in order to see them by display argument. If you have similar problem try first to

prompt> autopath discover

and then display. If that does not help continue this thread after you know what helped.

ps Checking that HP AutoPath module is loaded in kernel might also be good idea.

prompt> kcmodule hpap
Module State Cause Notes
hpap loaded explicit loadable, unloadable

Sami,

Do you have a problem seeing disks from the EVA8k?
If so, is this a new installation?

Please supply more details.

Oh you got me wrong. I solved my problem. The message is for me self in future when I'm again googling that error message and wondering how did I fix it last time. And with a little luck someone else also finds the solution useful.

I modify my hpautoinit to run 'autopath discover' as part of it's startup. That way it sees things already.

For new disks, it's always:
ioscan
insf -e
autopath discover
autopath display

It's actually kind of frustrating that they have to add more steps, not make it simpler.
