Help UNCLAIMED FC HBAS after cable disconnect

[NPD USER]

Hi I have a 9000/800/rp3440 running HP-UX 11i v3 with 3 fibre channel cards installed; 3 AB379B and a Tachyon XL2. Only 2 of the AB379B ports were hooked up to an array via a brocade switch.

Using ioscan I could see all HBAs were claimed by the OS.

The lab engineer removed the fibre channel cable and rebooted the system. Since, all fibre channel HBAs are reported as unclaimed. Despite return the system to the original configuration, the OS refuses to CLAIM the HBAs.

Any idea on how to fix this ? I've never seen this before.

cheers..

Hi NPD,

Can you please post the output of following commands:

#ioscan -fnC fc
#fcmsutil /dev/fcdN (for N=1,2,3,4)

Regards,

I can't execute fcmsutil, since I don't have any /devs.

Here is ioscan output:
# ioscan -fnC fc
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

... followed by

# swlist

UNCLAIMED normally means no driver, as you surely know.

[Adam W.]

with no /dev's as you out it, that is your issue right there. Just for chuckles try a insf -e .

[NPD USER]

That's the funny thing, the driver are still here. It looks like they are either not executing or initializing the HBAs.

Here is the fibre channel drivers from swlist:

FibrChanl-00 B.11.31.0809 FibreChannel;HW=A6795A,A5158A
FibrChanl-01 B.11.31.0809 FibrChnl;HW=A6826A,A9782A,A9784A,AB378A/B,AB379A/B,AB465A,AD193A,AD194A,AD300A

Nothing after insf -e...
It was the first thing I tried

[Torsten.]

Anything in this files?

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
/etc/rc.log

# dmesg

[NPD USER]

The only thing relevant in any of the file was from /etc/rc.log But, there was no output.

Configuring HP Fibre Channel FCD Mass Storage interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S990fc_fcd start":
----------------------------

[NPD USER]

A little more info...

The start up script creates the dev nodes as a result of scanning the state of the ioscan -kFd fcd. All "CLAIMED" fcds have devnodes created.

So, what ever is going wrong occurs when the fcd driver is loading.

cheers...
