Multiple LUNs on RedHat ES4

[JonasB]

Hello,

I have a FC1243 (QLA2422) in a DL380 connected to a Nexsan storage device.

I downloaded hp_qla2x00src-8.01.03p5-21.linux.rpm and can now see the storage. But see multiple disks on all dvices.

How can I fix this?

Hello Jonas,

did yor create a logical drive on you storage? Please post you /proc/scsi/scsi.

Regards,
Patrick

Yes I have created logical drives.

Hello Jonas,

how many LUNs did you configure? I took a shot view on the Nexans Homepage, but I can't find any handbook or another piece of documentation. But I found that:

Build RAID sets (and set RAID level and stripe size), partition RAID sets into Volumes, map Volumes to LUNs and Host Ports, and manage Spares.

This can be done with the NexScan GUI.

Patrick

Gday,

we have a similar problem with EMC Clariion SAN (CX700) it presents 4 luns for each drive. 1 for each path - as there are 4 logical paths over 2 fibre cables and 2 HBAs - thus we have to use device names rather than LABELS and even then the devices move about.

UDEV may be a way of solving it but we havent got there yet!

Was hoping to see some info to help us!

Robert.

My problem is solved. There really wasn't a problem. The Nexsan device auto created 8 logical volumes for me. And I was sure it only was 4 logical devices it created.
Thanks for you time!
