from ioscan & fcmsutil i didn't get anything.Still i have attached the o/p of ioscan & fcmsutil. Could you please look into this & let me know if everything is fine...

ioscan -> of all FC are claimed
fscmsutil -> of Driver status shows ONLINE

everything looks ok. Better to check.

Eventlog & syslog -> under stand why HBA flashing error

# more /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
# more /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
# dmesg

You can "simulate" an event in order to check if the monitoring is working, e,g, if the test event reaches HP SIM or another monitoring software.

This is such a "simulated" event (manually sent).

[Torsten.]

Example:


# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event -v -a disk_em



This will simulate a disk related event (this is what you have).

Again, what is flashing?

The HBA has 3 LEDs for each port, yellow, green and amber.

If all LEDs together flashing 2 times per sec. it is a failure of the HBA.


The yellow LED indicates a 4Gb/s connection.
