Re: FC issues on HPUX server
You should check the switch and the array. For any reason the server cannot "see" the LUNs.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

>>everythinh looks good from SAN side
What did they check? Just the storage array itself?
What about the cable from the server to the switch? What about the port on the switch the server is plugged into? Is it showing a link light?
What about the FC card on the server itself? Does it show a link light?

Re: FC issues on HPUX server
As Patrick says you should check if the port in the servers HBA has light, if there is no light in the HBA's port, most likely the gbic is faulty, and you should replace the HBA.
If the HBA port has light, then get the Storage team to check all the components againg from the fiber cable connected to the server up to the storage box.
With the fcmsutil command you can get more info on your HBA, link state,speed, vpd and also firmware levels, you can check just in case you have compatibility problems with the san switches,storage,etc.
#man fcmsutil
