Dell MD 3620: connecting Dell R620 with Brocade BR-825

Hi all! I've cabled Dell R620 to Dell MD 2620 (1st port of card connected to 1st RAID controller, 2nd port of card connected to 2nd RAID controller), installed drivers for Proxmox 5.1 (Debian 9).

I can see my card from OS like this:

# lspci | grep -i fibre
04:00.0 Fibre Channel: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 425/825/42B/82B 4Gbps/8Gbps PCIe dual port FC HBA (rev 01)
04:00.1 Fibre Channel: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. 425/825/42B/82B 4Gbps/8Gbps PCIe dual port FC HBA (rev 01)

 

But when I trying to scan scsi with scsi tools, I got nothing:

# /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus
/sbin/rescan-scsi-bus: line 592: [: 1.57: integer expression expected

I've also tried to set up port in loop mode using 

bcu port –topology 1/0 loop

bcu port –disable 1/0

bcu port –enable 1/0

bcu port –topology 1/1 loop

bcu port –disable 1/1

bcu port –enable 1/1

but I've got the same result.

Setting up p2p mode for port made nothing better. 

Tell me please how can I acess MD3620 from my server?

Hello dmitry.pronyaev,

With an MD3620F you have to configure host access in MDSM (Modular Disk Storage Manager) first before any virtual disk can be seen on your host.  Also here is a link to the Administrator guide & if you look on page 55 it explains how to configure host access.  http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/md32xx_md36xx_administrator%20guide_en%20us.pdf

Here is the link to the Resource DVD as well which is where MDSM is so that you can install it.  MDSM needs to run on a windows host.  http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=R9G1X

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
