I can't seem to get my host to see a 2540 array.
I have 3 arrays right now. (2) 2540's.. let's call them 2540A and 2540B and (1) 6140. 2540A and the 6140 are configured and mounted on the same linux host.
For the life of me, I cannot get the other problem-child 2540B to be recognized by the same linux host (x4150) as the other two arrays. No matter what, fdisk -l on the host doesn't list anything when 2540B is connected.
I've gone back to the start, disconnected all the cables, I've used the same PCI HBA, one controller, one fibre channel port, DAS, as the other arrays. I've re-setup the initiator, host, volumes, mappings, etc. Nothing. It's dead Jim. Argh.
I have another post on unix.com about comparing the performance of (2) 2540's vs (1) 6140. Let this post sever as an update. It's not going so well at the moment
I'd contact Sun, but I've gone down that route before only to be told by several sun engineers "I've never done support for a TRY&BUY" followed by no response for days.
Thanks for any help.
