Also got another server (did I mention this earlier) that is in the same zoning-group, same OS levels and it could get a new LUN with no problem. So it really seems isolated to this one server. (Which really just makes no sense to me...)

Well, think of it like that: having found out what was NOT the culprit is a step forward, no? ;-)

First off, i suppose you also have checked that the device the disk is supposed to be attached to is also working - if you have all your other NetApp disks attached to FC adapter A and the new one to adapter B then adapter B might be the problem.

I have no experience with the NetApp drivers but maye something is wrong with the ODM entries concerning the device(s). You may try a rmdev -Rdl on the adapter and then a rediscovery via cfgmgr to rebuild that. Notice that to completely clean the ODM you need to varyoffvg all the volume groups consisting of disks coming from the adapter you are deleting. If they are still online they will hold at least one FC connection (i.e one hdisk device if the driver is multipath enabled) open.

I hope this helps.

bt-adapter

bt-adapter(1)							    bluez-tools 						     bt-adapter(1)

NAME

       bt-adapter - a bluetooth adapter manager

SYNOPSIS

       bt-adapter [OPTION...]

       Help Options:
	 -h, --help

       Application Options:
	 -l, --list
	 -a, --adapter=<name|mac>
	 -i, --info
	 -d, --discover
	 --set <property> <value>

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is used to manage Bluetooth adapters. You can list all available adapters, show information about adapter, change adapter
       properties or discover remote devices.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Show help

       -l, --list
	   List all available adapters

       -a, --adapter <name|mac>
	   Specify adapter to use by his Name or MAC address
	   (if this option does not defined - default adapter used)

       -i, --info
	   Show information about adapter (returns all properties)

       -d, --discover
	   Discover remote devices (with remote device name resolving)

       --set <property> <value>
	   Change adapter properties (see ADAPTER PROPERTIES section for list
	   of available properties)

ADAPTER PROPERTIES

       string  Address [ro]
	       The Bluetooth adapter address (MAC).

       string  Name [rw]
	       The Bluetooth adapter friendly name.

       uint32  Class [ro]
	       The Bluetooth class of device.

       boolean Powered [rw]
	       Switch an adapter on or off. This will also set the
	       appropiate connectable state.

       boolean Discoverable [rw]
	       Switch an adapter to discoverable or non-discoverable
	       to either make it visible or hide it.

	       If the DiscoverableTimeout is set to a non-zero
	       value then the system will set this value back to
	       false after the timer expired.

	       In case the adapter is switched off, setting this
	       value will fail.

       boolean Pairable [rw]
	       Switch an adapter to pairable or non-pairable.

	       Note that this property only affects incoming pairing
	       requests.

       uint32  PaireableTimeout [rw]
	       The pairable timeout in seconds. A value of zero
	       means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in
	       pareable mode forever.

       uint32  DiscoverableTimeout [rw]
	       The discoverable timeout in seconds. A value of zero
	       means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in
	       discoverable/limited mode forever.

	       The default value for the discoverable timeout should
	       be 180 seconds (3 minutes).

       boolean Discovering [ro]
	       Indicates that a device discovery procedure is active.

       list    UUIDs [ro]
	       List of 128-bit UUIDs that represents the available local
	       services.
