We removed hw path 1.0.8 from vpar and now it's coming up.

vparmodify -p vp4_vparname -d io:1.0.8

Now we'll try to see if this is firmware related or driver maybe? Some1 has some input on this?

Thanks!

You should check the following:
- vPar version
- OS release date
- serwer firmware
- FC HBA firmware
- FC driver
for compatibility with this version of vPar.

It seems most likely to be a firmware issue with the FC card.

Verify the firmware version of the other FC on the server.It should be the compatibility issue with the firmware version.

#fcmsutil /dev/fcd# vpd

(Obtain the firmware version using the above command and verify)
