ioscan & fcmsutil disagree on fc disks

[lgoodman]

I'm having trouble with "fcmsutil /dev/fcd1 [and /dev/fcd2 - two fc ports]
get remote all " output and "ioscan -fnC disk" not matching about fc disks.

Has anyone seen this before, or can someone explain to me why this is
happennig , and/or what is going on.

Thanks

This is not a matter of the fcmsutil and ioscan output not matching, NONE of the disk devices are recognized (claimed), "NO_HW". Some of them have "UNKNOWN" in the type field and some have "DEVICE" which means at some point previously they were connected. What is the situation here? Did you have a major crash or is this a new setup? It seems that you have lost the connection from the HBA ports to the storage system. Check your zoning, connections, array LUNs etc.

Hi,
Try ..
#ioscan -funC disk

Contact storage guy for this issue, looking connectivity or zoning issue.

Determined the problem was ioconfig had more than 255 entries for fc. Blew away /etc/ioconfig & /stand/ioconfig and recreated them with reboot -rs, th reboot stopped at the ioinitrc prompt, asked if I wanted to rebuild ioconfig, answered yes, then rebooted with ^d and all was good.

The HW NOT CLAIMED was due to a reconfig of the fc infrastructure, when ioconfig was blown away and rebuilt the new H/W pathing was picked up (I'm guessing that's what happened because the new pathing was found).

Thanks for your help.

see my previous post.

Sorry I don't know what I'm doing vis-a-vis the forum, I'll read the FAQ and hopefully get better.

Thanks all who replied.
