Fiber Channel configuration
Hi,
i kind of new with the SUN environment, but still this past few weeks i got my all over my hands with problems that i could find the solution over some forums or other sources.
But here is one that i can't find any solution, so if anybody could give me a hint on this, that would be great.
I have one StorEdge A5000 14 slot connected with a Enterprise 4500 server. Solaris 5.10 installed.
The problem is the HBA connectivity.
I explain:
StroEdge configuration, is single loop, i'm using the two server fiber adapters to provide dual path to the disks using the A1 and B0 GBIC.
On PROM, a probe-fcal-all command will display me all drivers on two different path, first and second adapter.
While i'm on solaris[code]luxadm display SUN01A

So now i was trying to define the failover path using mpathadm command as documented on the 'Solaris Fiber Channel and Storage Multipathing Administration Guide' but
# mpathlistlu command show no lines
so i looked further to find out what is happening and i found some other documents talking about the Dynamic Configuration and the cfgadm command
so here is the output of cfgadm
[code]
# cfgadm

no what i don't understand, is where are my c1 and c2 fibers ?
i tryed the cfgadm with configure subcommand using the StorEdge WWN but no luck
[code]
# cfgadm configure WWN:508002000006ad50
Ap_Id Type ReceptacleOccupantCondition
configure : No matching library found
WWN:508002000006ad50 : No matching library found
[/code]
i'm taking any suggestions.
Thanks
PS: i tryed everything to format corectly this message, the code tags are no use ... i'm sorry for this inconvenient
