FC card issue ??!

Could anybody help me on the error below.

how i can where this FC card physically in a server because i have a 10 FC card on the expansion unit, to check on the cable first.

thanks and best regards

Hi All,

this the ioscan output

Hi,

You can use rad/olrad command to find the slot address of the card. You can easily map the slot address with h/w path.

#rad -q

or

#olrad -q

[Ganesan R]

Hi,

This is how you should interpret the slot address.

# olrad -q
Slot Path Bus Max Spd Pwr Occu Susp OLAR OLD Max Mode

Hi All,

i am check and change the cable and the problem is still.
and LED of FC card is blinking (orange color).
and from SAN switch the LED's is off

how to solve this problem

thanks

[Asif Sharif]

What is the server model?

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

rp8420, 11.11I

Hi Nejad,

hi nejad

in ur fcmsutil o/p lin speed is UNKNOWN

how u r accessing ur SAN storage ,pls provide details of storage & also in SAN switch provide port speed to 2gb

regards
vjta

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

the port speed of SAN switch is 2GB, and the status of operation port in SAN switch is down

how to solve this problem?
can i use the #fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 reset command, and what is the effectuation?

thanks

[likid0]

Yes you can try and reset the card, because its DOWN, it won't affect anything

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

i am executing this command
#fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 reset but the problem still and the output the same

Nejad,

Are you sure you're looking in the right place?

If this is a rp8420 then hardware path 1/0/8/1/0/4/0 is *not* in a Server Expansion Unit (SEU), It's in the server main chassis.

So looking at the hardware path:

1/0/8 = Slot 1 attached to Cell 1 (so that's the 9th slot along reading from left to right looking at the back of the server - the first 8 slots are attached to Cell 0)

1 = This is a PCI-X slot (older rp8400 with PCI cages this value would be 0)

0/4/0 = This is a combo card with a PCI bridge in it - looking at the rest of your output we can see that this is a A9784A which is a 2GbFC/GbE combo card.

So you need to look in the 9th slot along (left to right) of the main server chassis for a card with a LC and RJ45 port.

Hi All,

yes i am sure this the output of rad command
# rad -q
Driver(s)
Slot Path Bus Max Spd Pwr Occu Susp Capable Max Mode
Num Spd Mode
0-0-1-1 1/0/8/1 64 133 133 On Yes No Yes PCI-X PCI-X
0-0-1-2 1/0/10/1 80 133 133 On Yes No Yes PCI-X PCI-X
0-0-1-3 1/0/12/1 96 133 66 On Yes No Yes PCI-X PCI
0-0-1-4 1/0/14/1 112 133 66 On Yes No Yes PCI-X PCI
0-0-1-5 1/0/6/1 48 133 133 On Yes No Yes PCI-X PCI-X
0-0-1-6 1/0/4/1 32 133 66 Off No N/A N/A PCI-X PCI
0-0-1-7 1/0/2/1 16 133 66 Off No N/A N/A PCI-X PCI
0-0-1-8 1/0/1/1 8 133 66 Off No N/A N/A PCI-X PCI


and by matching with Hardware Path is = 1/0/8/1/0/4/0, i found the 0-0-1-1 is a place of a FC card, and i am see the LED of FC card is blinking (orange color).

thanks

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Excuse me if I'm still a little sceptical, cos what we see above from fcmsutil simply looks like a card with no cable attached

0-0-1-1 =

0 = Cab 0 (i.e. the main server enclosure, not the SEU)

0 = Bay 0 - the rp8420 has only 1 IO bay which holds 2 8 slot chassis (a superdome cabinet has 2 bays)

1 = Chassis 1 (i.e. the 2md 8 slot chassis)

1 = Slot 1

So as I said, that's the 9th card along from right to left looking at the back of the server. Slots 1-8 are for chassis 0.

You are *absolutely* sure thats the slot you are looking at?

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

yes i am sure it is a second slot from left to right in chassis 1, and the 8 slot from right to left in chassis 1.
and this I/O expansion has 16 slot in 2 cabinet and one bay 0 and 2 chassis.
and it is blinking (orange and green color).


thanks

[sujit kumar singh]

ya this card happens to be in the chassis 1 that is the left chassis if there are two IO Chassis in the main Cabinet(0) (when u see from the back), and as the rad -q shows about the card it is in the Slot 1.

Also that rad O/p Shows that the card is powered on , Olar capable.

If the Orange LED is Glowing at the FC Port of the card then high cahnces
This seems to be a Link issue, first need to check with a good cable if the link comes up.

and u can see an ONLINE in the fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 O/p.

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

i am change the cable with new cable and the problem still

how to solve this problem?

[Torsten.]

Consider a bad HBA or switch port too. Does "light" come out of the card and switch port? Be careful, it's laser light!

[sujit kumar singh]

After changing of the cable that links the card to the FC CArd on the server to the SAN please rerun the Command that u have posted Earlier and the O/Ps

#fcmsutil /dev/fcd0
#rad -q

Before u plug in the good cable in the FC card please check that before inserting teh cable u can see light in the cable leads when the other end is put in the SAN Swictch. ( careful this has laer lights as stated in the earlier posts)

Sujit

[Robert Salter]

Is this connecting through a patch panel? If so, you'll have to check each connection and the associated cable. If it's going to a switch, check the port, if it's using a GBIC, try reseating it. If you have a know good fiber connection and it's not being used (fat chance, huh) try using the good connection t othe FC port you're having the problem with. To see if the HBA is bad.


beers,

robert

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

i am changing the fiber cable and the HPA in SAN switch, but the problem it is still the two light in FC card it is blinking.

thanks

Hi Nejad ,

order the new fc card.
