QL2460 HBA not being detected on the power path
Hi
I am having an issue with one of the QL2460 HBA not being detected on the power path. When I checked on device manager on windows, both the HBA¿s appear but one of them has the option of disable and that¿s the card not being detected on the power path.
I am having a Boot from SAN configuration on windows 2003 SP2 R2.
Regards
Dharshana

1. Expand the Storage Group that contains the Host
2. Expand the Hosts container under the Storage Group, right click on the host and select Connectivity Status
3. The "blue" connections will be listed ~management Group
4. Click on the Reconnect button. Accept the prompts to reconnect the HBAs.
5. Right click on the host, select Update Now and check Connectivity Status again. All connections should be "green" now.
This should resolve the issue. This usually happens when a change is made to zoning, but as RRR pointed out there are some puzzling occurrences of it happening.

Its enabled, but i dont see the second HBA on the powerpath console.
The diffrence is, when i right click on the HBA on device manager, i get option to disable on one card but not on the other one.

What happend is that somehow (I'm still puzzled why this sometimes randomly happens) an active path is administratively brought down.
How to bring it back up ?
Enable Engineering mode (CTRL-SHIFT-F12)
Right click the Storage Group your host is in
Choose the TAB "connect hosts"
Click on the "advanced" button
Look for your host and check if all paths are "checked" with a checkmark
This should do the trick.

I am having some ghost images on the HOST component on Navisphere. Can i remove them by restarting the management server. Can this be done while the SAN is in production.

Restarting the management server on the Storage Processors can be done online, but I am wondering why you'd want to do that. Only in rare occasions you might need to restart that component (ip address change of the SPs for example).
If you have Ghost imagees of your mgmt station, simply treat this host as just any other host and delete or archive them if you like.
