after adding a SAN Switch IBM 2005 H16 , I was unable to see any Host Port Adapter from the San Storage Program ( DS Storage Manager Client 10 ) http://oi42.tinypic.com/2unzho8.jpg
Now, I am not sure, why I cannot see the HBAs . What could be the issue ?
Below is the profile of the storage sub-system

This is how I created the zone,
Basically One Zone
Which has
One Port from the HBA Card which is 20:00:00:00:c9:61:2e:fa
One Port from the SAN Storage Controller 20:0a:00:a0:b8:12:3b:3d

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
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]

To summarize the problem: The "IBM FastT Storage Manager Client v8" shows that our Disk Farm is arranged into 6 logical drives each in a RAID 5 configuration. This software also shows that 5 of the 6 logical drives (from Disk Farm) are in a error state: "Failed Logical Drive - Drive Failure".... (1 Reply)

Hello,
We're setting up a solution for a group of customers with 2 p520 servers and 1 DS4300 unit with 9 disks (at this stage). The meaning is to create two arrays on the DS4300. Both servers will be connected to the DS4300 unit and to both controllers (e.g. Controller 1 connected to server 1... (0 Replies)
