rhel4 powerlink qla2xxx HBAs not detected
Hi,
I ran through a procedure script that was generated to install my Emulex QLA-2340s on a RHEL4 box (Linux rh-linx2 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Jan 23 13:01:26 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux). Everything seems to have gone in well, I updated the HBA firmware, installed the qla2xxx-8.01.06-1dkms rpms successfully, sansurfer is installed and appears to be working, PowerPath is installed and the licenses have "Capabilties: All" set.
But cat /proc/scsi/scsi doesn't show anything other than the onboard HDDs, and the lun-scan.sh script I downloaded from emcpower gives: "ls: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/lpfc/*/host*: No such file or directory"
I see qla2xxx & qla2300 entries in lsmod as well as a bunch of emcp* entries. The PowerPath, qlremote, and naviagent are all starting from init.d.
I don't really know what I'm missing to make the connection between all this software and the hardware on the system.
Thanks for any pointers.
Dave

I'm not sure if that last line means the Luns are not registered. Any idea how I need to register these Luns with RHEL4?
Thanks for any help.

1) connected HBAs to the switch.
2) created new zones on the switch and activated the zoneset.

The reason I ask is that I opened a support incident with Dell over this issue today and I was asked the same thing ---almost as if PowerPath won't see the HBAs before the zoning has been done. One of our SAN admin seems to think that it doesn't matter.
Regardless, the zoning has been done.
Thanks again.

Luns with RHEL4?
Under "FC Port Information" you are meant to see the Clariion SP WWPNs. You aren't seeing anything so its not logging into the Clariion. You will not see luns if you aren't logged into the Clariion.
You can ignore that lun registration legend at the bottom, you aren't seeing any luns let alone luns with an asterisk next to them.
You should check your switch zoning, and if that checks out, poke the linux host somehow to retry logging into the Clariion.
Here is an example of what the driver should look like:

Sorry if my terminology was confusing, we're not even seeing the HBA's locally on the Linux box, so logging into the Clarion's not going to happen without that, I'm afraid. The local Linux PowerPath install can't see the HBAs that are installed on that box.
Thanks for the reply.

I'll have a look at what I can do regarding Jason's reply and post back shortly.

wrong way around
Powerpath won't see HBAs / Luns if you aren't logged into the Clariion. Also it looks like the Qlogic driver is installed and has attached to the adapters fine.
