MSA1500 unit not recognized by VMS

[Warren Landrum]

All,

I've got 3 rx4640's running VMS 8.3. Two MSA1500 pairs, currently in ACTIVE/PASSIVE (fw version 5.10 b414) until I upgrade for ACTIVE/ACTIVE. Servers and Controllers connected to a pair of 4/16 SAN Switches.

I set added unit 0 on 1 of the controllers (controller ID 400) and set the unit id to 0 as follows:

CLI> set unit_id 0 0

and it worked fine.

But then when I went over to VMS and did a

$ MC SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIG/LOG, it came back and recognized the 4 MSA1500's but told me no identifier was defined for unit D1 as follows. I did not even try to set up a unit D1.


$ mc sysman io autoconfig/log

Any ideas what I need to do to get the unit recognized as a device by VMS?


Thx,

ps - What's up with that Computer Associates licensing message? I've got their products installed on the AlphaServer 4100 cluster that I am migrating off of, but that cluster has no physical connectivity to this new Integrity cluster I amsetting up. - w

> CLI> set unit_id 0 0

ID 0 means "no ID". You need to enter a non-zero value.

Hi,
Having no experience with the MSA1500, but having a number of MSA1000 at hand, I concur with Uwe that a unit with id 0 (zero) is not recognized by VMS. So change it to a non-zero value.

Changed unit id to 2. That did it.
