V20z opteron, Red Hat, Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array?
Hello,
I'm trying to connect a 3510 fibre channel storage array to a V20z
(AMD opteron) box running
64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Both the 3510 and the V20z are sun products:
http://www.sun.com/storage/workgroup/3000/3500/3510/
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v20z/
I tested the 3510 by connecting it to a sparc box running Solaris 9
(with the SAN packages installed).
The sparc box and the 3510 worked well together.
Next, I put a fibre channel card in the V20z:

The kudzu utility recognized the card.
I used linux modprobe utility to confirm that the qlogic driver was installed/loaded in the V20z.
I ran a cable from the 3510 to the fibre channel card in the V20z.
I booted the V20z.
Result:
-no link light on the 3510
-both amber and green light on the fibre channel
So, I'm curious:
- Have you ever successfully setup a V20z-3510 fibre channel
connection?
- Do you know of anyone who has successfully setup a V20z-3510 fibre
channel connection?
- Is there anything I should be aware of when attempting to set this
up?
- How would you trouble shoot my no-link-light problem?
-Thanks,
-moi
