Issues with Inititators
All:
We had a scheduled power down and were able to power back up the system on Monday.
We ran into issues though with our initiators for some reason they are yellow triangles
The brocade on the IBM Blade Center is wide open, no zoning etc.
We had this working before the shut down and now it doesnt want to see it. We have created the storage group, and assigned the IP to the virtual machine, and have used the correct WWN.
I need the system up ASAP, and I have worked with Federal tech support with little to no answers.
Thanks,
Ron

nothing changed to my knowledge from the HBA's... cabling stayed the same... We arent using a FC switch, just the Brocade on the IBM Blade side. It shows the port is up and active when I log into the brocade.

Logged-in column has "No", did anything change in terms of HBAs, cabling ? Is it direct connect or you are going through another FC switch ?

you assigned IP to the virtual machine - what do you mean by that, are you connecting ESX servers, Hyper-V servers ?

Did both VNX fc ports and esx vmhba wwns are logged into switch ?? just to reconfirm do nodefind on those hba wwns
nodefind xx:xx , if they come up fine then bounce the zone ( delete from active zoneset , wait for min , add it back and activate it on brocade ).

cable the right port, although you said cabling did not change.

Actually, looking even closer you have B2 associated with the data movers which is showing logged in and registered. So I assume you have a VG2/8 NAS head?
If this is the case, so don't necessarily replace SPB2 which is associated with the data movers, it appears you simply don't have SPB0 logging in.

Or you could reregister the host. Might not be a bad idea to free up the MirrorView port; however, the easiest thing would be to recable it the way it was originally. Comparing Connectivity Status with the Switch output suggests that cables were swapped (unless someone else sees something differently).
