Subject: MSA 1000 connected to a DS10 & DS15 systems using VMS

Oops, didn't see your response while I was writing mine. Sorry... more questions instead of answers. Have you checked the two HBAs and made sure they are connected properly to the switch(s)? Is one HBA maybe dead?

Doubt that the MSA is the problem but if you have access to the MSA console can you post the output of SHOW TECH_SUPPORT.

hi,

have you set acl's on the msa ? what does portshow on the switch say for the two ports used by the ds10, are the connection lights lit on the hba's and the ports in the switch ?

Hi,

What is the output of "show tech_support" on the MSA1000. This will show all about the MSA1000. for instance Path's & ACL's (if present) and the active controller etc.

gr,

Kevin,

OpenVMS V7.3-2 includes the FC$SDA SDA extension, so you could look a lot 'deeper' into the FC configuration:

$ ANA/SYS
SDA> FC SET DEV FGA [or FGB]
SDA> FC SHOW ADDRESS_LIST
SDA> SHOW NAME_LIST
SDA> SHOW WTID ! may not be available in V7.3-2
SDA> FC RING

You can get a little help using:

SDA> FC

Compare the results between the DS10 and the DS15.

Here is the SHOW_TECHSUPPORT on the Top controller.

Here is the SHOW_TECHSUPPORT for the Bottom controller.

hi,

you should see two connections from each system, the one from the first controller for pga0 shows as profile default , this should be set to openvms, the other controller shows connection pgb0 offline this may be an old record when the hba/switch port was working.

You will need to troubleshoot from your DS10 PGB0 HBA, cabling, switch port, etc. somewhere along that path is where your hardware problem is. This went unnoticed previous to the last reboot of your DS10.
