Problem in configuring Storedge 3300

Hi,

We are facing problem in configuring StorEdge 3300 in

SunFire 280R. We have a StorEdge 3300 (JBD) containing 5 X

36GB disks. We do not have any controller in this. We would

like make these disks accessible at OS level using format

utility. When we execute probe-scsi-all at Boot prompt we

get the following output

/pci@8,600000/SunW, qlc@4

LiD HALUNPortDisk

Please help, Thanks

If you just added this JBOD did you " devfsadm -c disks " or, ok " boot -r "?

I am having the same problem, but I am using a SunBlade 2000. I have tried the devfsadm -c disk and boot -r and still can't see it at the OS level. I am very new to UNIX- any help would be great!

I look result's of command probe-scsi-all and found, that You have additinal 2 channek SCSI card.

I thing, tha is LVD scsi card ( this card ned for connect 3300).

You need download drivers for this SCSI card from

http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/allproducts.html -> Sun StorEdge PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter v1.0

And install recured patches for this driver ( It's depens of version of Solaris).

After this create file /reconfigure ( touch /reconfigure ) and make reboot.

I hope it resolve your problem.

I too have the same problem. Have a v440 and Storedge 3310, the first time I used the server it was all ok, after a week I booted it up again and when I use the command sccli i get the following error:

[root@server1 /]# sccli

sccli: no manageable devices found

sccli: Type "sccli help" for valid commands.

In the first day I used the server I remember I could access it in the format command, since I connected everything again, I can't see it no longer on the OS.

I did then following sequence off comands:

stop-a

setenv auto-boot? false (I don't won't it to boot again)

setenv boot-device false (I wan't to do a clean probe-scsi-all)

reset-all

I then used the probe-scsi-all comand which had the following output:

{1} ok probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2,1

/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2

Before I did that, I checked if the cables where in the correct configuration I wanted, it's a dual buffer configuration that is going to be used on raid 1+0 configuration.

After that I did:

setenv boot-device disk0

boot -r (to reconfigure)

I also download the pci scsi lvd controller driver and patches, nothing seems to work, I'm trying to recreate my first working day with server, until now, with no success.

The last thing I installed in that host was Disksuite? Might there be any kind of incompatility?

I think I did something wrong, I connected the host to channel 0 at the fist time I power the system up, funny thing was it worked :-/ now I wan't to connect the host using channel 1 or 3 which is better.

I still have the following questions:

Is it wrong to use channel 0 to connect to a host? (I think might be loosing resources in the future since that channel is faster?)

How can I reset everything so I have the original configuration, reseting the controller makes the configuration go the fabrics one, but I still can't connect using sccli or using format.

I'm using an scsi lvd cable connected from the ultra card on the host to channel 1 on the stordedge. And I can't get the OS to connect to the 3310.

Nevermind the last posts, I forgot to install the 32 bit drivers of ultra 3 card. Anyway thanks to anyone who might have thought about this.Orlando
