Cannot see the LUN on new Itanium rx2620 servers

[Yvonne Butler]

Hello

We've got 2 new rx2620 servers which have been built with HP-UX 11.23 December 2005. LUN's have been presented to them from an EVA 5000 but I can't see the LUN using "ioscan -fnC disk". I've also carried out the command "insf -e", but to no avail. On reboot, I can see the following messages, does this have anything to do with not seeing the LUN's?

0/4/1/0/4/0: 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.

Thanks!

Yvonne -- I do not know the EVAs that well, but digging around a bit, I found this interpretation of the message:

This may indicate that the HBA port is not part of a zone.

Not sure if that would cause the error you are seeing.

Doesn't sound like the SAN masking has been done...and/or the WorldWideName of your HBA hasn't been given access to the SAN....

You can run this:

fcmsutil /dev/td0 stat

where /dev/td0 is the device for your hba and see what errors the card is reporting.

Thank you everyone for your comments. After speaking with several different people as well as seeing your comments, the problem is that there was no zone specified on the brocade switches for this requirement. This is now being dealt with.

Thanks again!
