Go to SolutionLinux connnectivity problem
Dear All,
Does anyone experience the following error about linux connnectivity?
1. disk I/O is OK. I can use the emc disk to read/write, mount/umount.
2. Use "mount /emcdisk" to mount the disk sucessfully and I have added the entry on "fstab" file
3. get a error like this
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1 [FAILED]
*** An error occured during the file system check.
I can mount the disk normally when I keyed the root's password into maintance mode. It seems the emc disk not ready during booting system.
The host register info as following:
1. Clariion Open
2. Failover mode 0
Thanks for any reply.

Hi Dynamox,
Thanks for your reply first.
I have installed EMCpower.LINUX.5.0.0.157.tar.gz, but no powerdisk it can create.
There is only one path direct attached to CX3-10c due to cost issue.
finally I remove the powerpath and face mount error via fstab.

Definitely need more information on the number of HBAs connected and software installed. Having the FAILOVERMODE incorrectly set could definitely cause some unusual behavior if you try to access the passive path on the Clariion array.
If would also be helpful to know if you do have a single HBA are you zoned to multiple Clariion ports or is it a 1-to-1 mapping?289

If you use PowerPath ..failover mode needs to be set to 1. So you have one HBA? Can you zone it to SPA and SPB ?289

I set the failover mode to 1 when I installed the Powerpath.
I set failover mode back to 0 when I remove the PP.
So it's not the issue in my case.
Is it possible the disk not ready (/dev/sdb1) during booting system?
I saw some messages error about powerpath can't find something druing booting.
Thanks,

only one hba card install on Redhat 4_U2, and only one fiber cable connect to CX3-10c_SPB2.
Please advice me if any ideas.
