Device error at nport

[Amerley Doku]

Hi,

Please we have following error message in the syslog on our HP-UX 11i server:
Nov 19 10:09:57 ux_db02 vmunix: 0/12/0/0: Unable to access previously accessed device at nport ID 0x112ef.
Any assistance is welcome.

Regards

Hi,

An attempt to re-open a device which had been open earlier has failed.

There should be additional logging messages which will allow diagnosis of the problem.

Run
"insf -e" (that will create any missing device file)
"ioscan" (ioscan without any parameter)
that will re-read all the I/O devices. But,

please make sure that you maintain a copy of the ioscan output before executing the above 2 commands.

Thanks,
Srikanth

Any hardware changes done? Any messages like "use fcmsutil with replace_dsk option" around this message?

[Bill Hassell]

This is very common if you disconnect a tape drive connected with fibre rather than SCSI. Note that if you swap a tape drive, it will have to be reconfigured with fcmsutil using the replace_dsk option.

Hi,

Looks like there was some hw replacement etc, you can run
#fcmsutil /dev/tdX replace_dsk 0x112ef , check the correct FC card device file that you have td or fcd etc.

Still if you have issue and if you are able to reboot the server, then you can also remove the device file with rmsf and then reboot the server. After server boots up it should have already recreated the device file properly.
