IA machine not booting due FC error..

[Srikanth_18]

Hi Folks,

One of our machine Rx2620 not booting.On console i can see the error

------------------------------------
HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver v1.16
------------------------------------

After this error message system doesn't go forward.Once i take out FC cable from HBA and start machine,then it boots properly. Machines is connected to SAN switch and zoned with JBOD in SAN switch.

Hi,
I assume the machine did boot before.
The FC message is not an error message, it the progress message from the rc boot process. Check in /etc/rc.log and /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and OLDsyslog.log.

I would hazard a guess that either your card is faulty or the SAN at the other end is not responding.

its SO this installed in on records that estao estao in this FC? therefore the SO would have to go up exactly with error in the FC.

Its happening before kernel file get loaded into the memory.BIOS level itself machines strucks..

[Peter Godron]

If this happens before the network rc steps are running, i.e. during post, I would replace the card.

Did you get the SAN to work via the FC after you had rebooted without cable and then reconnected?

it tries to inicar schemes it without the handles. this seeming that and a hardware problem, and that the HBA this passing for the test of the hardware executed in boot of schemes.

Its not problem with single machine. Two machines are in cluster and both machines are seeing same shared disks.

i can see the disks after rebooting the machines...(after plugging the fc cable)
