okay, few things,

first remember, I was unable to see the HBAs when I connected directly to the SAN Storage.
That is: PORT 0 of DUAL PORT HBA connected to Controller A
PORT 1 of DUAL PORT HBA connected to Controller B
in my DS SAN Storage Client Manager I was unable to see the HBA

What I did was, in my AIX machine
Code:
rmdev -Rdl fcs0
rmdev -Rdl fcs1
cfgmgr -v

Refresh in Storage Client Manager and I was able to see the HBAs

Next thing,
I connected after that I connected my single fiber adapter card which is Dual Port HBA as such
HBA Port 0 ---- Controller A
HBA Port 1 ---- Controller B

Did refresh on the SAN Storage Client Software and I was able to see both Ports
Port 0 : 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:fa
Port 1 : 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9

I tried creating only one zone
Cabling as such:
Port 0 of the Dual Port HBA is connected to SAN Switch Port 0
SAN Switch Port 8 is connected to Controller A of the SAN Storage
Now details about the ports
SAN SWITCH PORT 0: Port WWN 20:00:00:05:1e:34:47:37
HBA Port 0 : Device Port WWN [10:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9]
Device Node WWN [20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9]



SAN Switch Port #8: Port WWN 20:08:00:05:1e:34:47:37

Devices
Device Port WWN [20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3e]
Device Node WWN [20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d]

Currently effective configuration on the Fabric: test_zc

Zone DB Max size for the fabric - 1048576 bytes

Zone DB to be committed - 0 bytes

You have defined the following zoning database:

Aliases:
test:
Emulex Corporation 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9 Symbios Logic Inc. 20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d

The Effective Configuration is: test_zc

The Member(s) of the Effective Configuration is (are):

Zone: test_z 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:f9
20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d

Code:
# cfgmgr
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgefscsi -l fscsi1 ):

unable to see the disk added from SAN storage

I am wondering if I have done it properly ?

NAME
MooseX::Storage::Engine::Trait::OnlyWhenBuilt - An engine trait to bypass serialization SYNOPSIS
{ package Point; use Moose; use MooseX::Storage; with Storage( traits => [qw|OnlyWhenBuilt|] ); has 'x' => (is => 'rw', lazy_build => 1 ); has 'y' => (is => 'rw', lazy_build => 1 ); has 'z' => (is => 'rw', builder => '_build_z' ); sub _build_x { 3 } sub _build_y { expensive_computation() } sub _build_z { 3 } } my $p = Point->new( 'x' => 4 ); # the result of ->pack will contain: # { x => 4, z => 3 } $p->pack; DESCRIPTION
Sometimes you don't want a particular attribute to be part of the serialization if it has not been built yet. If you invoke "Storage()" as outlined in the "Synopsis", only attributes that have been built (ie, where the predicate returns 'true') will be serialized. This avoids any potentially expensive computations. This trait is applied to an instance of MooseX::Storage::Engine, for the user-visible version shown in the SYNOPSIS, see MooseX::Storage::Traits::OnlyWhenBuilt METHODS
