fibre channel

[Javier Ortiz Guajardo]

I??ve receive this message in the event monitor log.
Adapter at hardware path 0/0/0 : Fibre Channel Driver has been taken
offline due to user request

What this message mean. Why it comes offline?
What user do the message talk about?
Thanks so much.

[James A. Donovan]

It usually means someone (or some script) has used the fcmsutil utility to disable the card.

e.g.
# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/td0 disable

try using

# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/td0 enable

and see what happens

I don't think that there is any fiber channel card is at 0/0/0 hardware address? What is the haedware at 0/0/0 address?

[Javier Ortiz Guajardo]

To A.Costa:
This is the output on ioscan -fn fot 0/0/0
fc 0 0/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tach
yon TL/TS Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td0

what do you mena there is not a Channel Adapter.

Thanks Costa

Check the status of the card.

# fcmsutil /dev/td0

Enable the card as described by Jim. If there is any 'root' command history, check there. (~root/sh.history)

The solution should be installing latest FC driver (at least 08, http://software.hp.com ), Diags package, GR and HWE patch bundles from same CD release (at least A.31.00).
Backup system before applying patches to be sure if anything will go wrong you'll be able to roll back
