fixed it !!!! miracle

right after alot of messing around i also upgraded the microcode for the fc adapters.

still didnt fix problem.

had another look at the IBM website specifically http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...=utf-8&lang=en

this has the devices.sdd.53.rte driver but version 1.6.0.0 not 1.6.2.0.

so unmount fs on san
deactivated vg on san
removed vpaths and then hdisks relevant to san
unistalled ver 1.6.2.0 and installed ver 1.6.0.0
cfgmgr -vl fcsX on both my adapters
then cfallvpath

redid the lsvpcfg and got:
vpath0 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 00623296 = hdisk2 (Avail ) hdisk16 (Avail )
vpath1 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 00723296 = hdisk3 (Avail ) hdisk17 (Avail )
vpath2 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 00823296 = hdisk4 (Avail ) hdisk18 (Avail )
vpath3 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 10723296 = hdisk5 (Avail ) hdisk19 (Avail )
vpath4 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 10823296 = hdisk6 (Avail ) hdisk20 (Avail )
vpath5 (Avail pv ) 10D23296 = hdisk7 (Avail ) hdisk21 (Avail )
vpath6 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 20723296 = hdisk8 (Avail ) hdisk22 (Avail )
vpath7 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 20823296 = hdisk9 (Avail ) hdisk23 (Avail )
vpath8 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 20923296 = hdisk10 (Avail ) hdisk24 (Avail )
vpath9 (Avail pv ) 20D23296 = hdisk11 (Avail ) hdisk25 (Avail )
vpath10 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 30723296 = hdisk12 (Avail ) hdisk26 (Avail )
vpath11 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 30823296 = hdisk13 (Avail ) hdisk27 (Avail )
vpath12 (Avail pv crm_train_vg) 30923296 = hdisk14 (Avail ) hdisk28 (Avail )
vpath13 (Avail pv ) 30D23296 = hdisk15 (Avail ) hdisk29 (Avail )

Now all the vpaths are Avail - LUN id's were always the same so was always looking at the correct data which i'd proved earlier by the fact that the VG was variedon and fs was working.

But now it all looks correct.

What i need to figure out is the difference between the two versions.

1.6.0.0 is supposed to be used if using the VIOS ( Warning: SDD version 1.6.1.0 or later is not supported by the VIOS at this time. )
So i can only assume that i am indeed using the Virtual I/O server although the info for the later drivers i.e 1.6.2.0 says that i should be able to use it with ESS.

Either way it is now working perfect.

thanks for the help anyway though people. Hopefully this will be useful to someone in the future.

NAME
scversions - Sun Cluster version management SYNOPSIS
scversions [-c] DESCRIPTION
Note - Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor- mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page. The scversions command commits the cluster to a new level of functionality after a rolling-upgrade to new Sun Cluster software. With no arguments, the scversions command prints a message indicating whether a commitment is needed. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: -c Commit the set of nodes that are currently active members of the cluster to the highest possible level of functionality. When you upgrade a node (either through upgrade to a new release of the product or by application of a patch) and boot it back into the cluster, some of the internal protocols on that node might have to run at lower versions in order to cooperate cor- rectly with other nodes in the cluster. When the cluster is in this state, some administrative actions might be disabled and some new functionality introduced in the upgrade might be unavailable. When you run this command once from any node after all nodes are upgraded, the cluster switches to the highest versions of internal protocols possible. Assuming that all nodes have the same Sun Cluster software installed at that time, all new func- tionality becomes available and any administrative restrictions are removed. If a node that has not been upgraded is an active member of the cluster at the time you run the -c option to scversions, the command has no effect because the cluster is already running at the highest possible level of functionality. If a node has not been upgraded and is not an active member of the cluster when you run the -c option to scversions (for exam- ple, if that node is down for maintenance), the internal protocols of the cluster are upgraded to the highest possible ver- sions. You might have to upgrade the node that was not an active member of the cluster to enable it to rejoin the cluster. EXIT STATUS
