The second SPS does not start. The navi manager shows it as not present. There are no lights on the SPS. I tried powering down and powering up and checked the cables. they seem to be fine. Is there any way to fix this. The second SPS seems to be working fine. thanks mabu

the reason that I was seeing just one lun as opposed to all three luns was because ATF was wrongly configured. When I run ATF_Console I get [2/21/...] Usupported Array. I can't find any messages for the ATF in the event viewer. I tried unistalling everything and reinstalling everything but...

Hi, I have created a storage group and added three luns(raid5) to it of sizes - 995 gb, 212gb, 500gb. But in windows, when I check the Disk Management MMC, i can see three drives, but all these drives are of 995gb. Shouldn't I be seeing just one drive with 995+212+500 gb of space. Or should i...

Hi figured out how to deregister the HBA. Thanks Mabu

Hi The manager shows that the last three disks on DAE 3 has errors. Plus the active and fault lights on the DAE for these disks are all off. Is there a way to fix this problem. Your help will be greatly appreciated Thanks. Mabu

thanks Comtec17. I got it to work. But I haven't been able to deregister the HBAs. Is there any way to do this in the manager, navicli or through FCLI? Mabu

I think I figured out my problem. Somehow the wwpn and wwn of hba changed. I am not sure how, but I think it is because I re-installed the host agent. I am going to try to add the HBA again and see if that works. Btw, is there any way you can deregister a HBA from the storage device? I am...

Hi, I am trying to configure Clariion 4500 with Navisphere manager 5.3. I have created raid groups bound luns and created storage groups. I am able to see the lun on both device manager and Disk management MMC, but the Luns appear as Unreadable and Unkown. I am not sure what I am doing wrong...

Comtec17 It is a Clariion FC 4500. Thanks Mabu

Hi, I was able to bind disks into luns but I think my problem is that I do not have any storage groups assigned. It would be great if someone tellme how I can do this through Fcli. Rigth now, I can see the array in through the management server but I see the whole 25terabytes and don't see...

Hello All, 2 questions. 1. How do I set the FC 4500 to factory default settings? 2. Is there a way to deregister a hba through fcli? Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks mabu

Thanks Maultier, I found out that the sectors size is 520 so must not be jbod. I have an emulex hba directly connected to the server. No switches installed for now. More questions for you 1. I don't have powerpath or other ATF applications installed could this be the cause of my problems? 2...

Thanks maultier, But I have a few more questions regarding this new scenario. 1) is a jbod connection better? 2) Can you connect the Serial Cable to PRI interface and create a serial connection to the DAE? 3) How do I set the block length to 520? Is formatting the only option? 4) How can I...

I just noticed that the Block length on Lun 0 is 512. Is this the setting for JBOD Configuration? Thanks Mabu

Hi, Maultier i looked around in the emulex website, but could not find any thing about emc code for the controller. For now, through HBA anywhere I see the whole San storage device, 25 terabytes as one lun. Thanks mabu
