VA7100 alternate link problems

[RNC]

Hello all,

I have my servers in a SAN, mconnected across a brocade. I have 2 FC cards in the server, connected some one to one brocade, and the brocade connecteds to the VA7100. In this moment I see the LUNS for the to paths correctly.

Now I created a new LUN, and I see it only acrross I path, and I have all like the others.
I execute ioscan -fnCfc, and It show me the two cards.
I execute ioscan -fnC disk and only see I path.

Check your va array and brocade settings to make sure that a "lun" is available from both FC ports.

In the VA the lun exists, and i don't now how to review in the brocade.

Are you using Secure Manager within CommandView for LUN security? This allows you to set up the WWN's that are authorized to connect to each LUN. If you only set up the WWN from one FC card, but not the other, then that would cause this type of problem.

I have secure manager, but I don't have the password, who is possible to change the password if i don't know the last?

If your system installed secure path. You can not see alternate link path by ioscan
let use
#spmgr display

I don't have secure path, that is for compaq, this is HP and is secure manager. Is different.

Hi,

For every LUN what you create you need to specify security through Secure manager by setting WWN no. I suppose you have not provided it for the other FC card and that is why it is not visible from the other path.

But I don't have the password for the secure manager, i lose it

Hi,

Which version of Secure manager you are using? You should have some documents regarding this and that should help you find/recover password.
