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.

NAME
NetApp::Qtree -- OO class for creating and managing qtrees SYNOPSIS
use NetApp::Filer; use NetApp::Qtree; my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new( .... ); # Create a tree, with all options in one call my $qtree = $filer->create_qtree( name => "/vol/vol1/qtreename", oplocks => 1, mode => 0755, security => 'unix', ); # Alternately, you can create it, and then change things my $qtree = $filer->create_qtree( name => "/vol/vol1/qtreename", mode => 0755, ); # The mode must be set when created $qtree->set_oplock(1); $qtree->set_security('unix'); DESCRIPTION
This class encapsulates a single NetApp qtree, and provides methods for querying information about the qtree, as well as methods for managing it. METHODS
set_security( $security ) This method method takes a single argument, which is the security value to set on the qtree. It must have one of the following values: unix ntfs mixed get_security Returns a string containing the current security setting of the qtree. set_oplocks( $boolean ) This method takes a boolean argument, and sets the oplocks attribute of the qtree to "enabled" if the value is true, and "disabled" if the value is false. get_oplocks Returns true is the oplocks are set to "enabled", false if they are set to "disabled". get_status Returns the status value for the qtree. It waill have the values such as: normal snapmirrored get_id Returns the qtree id. get_vfiler Returns the vfiler which owns the qtree. If vfilers are not licensed on the filer, this method will simply return a false value. perl v5.14.2 2008-11-26 NetApp::Qtree(3pm)
