qlogic fc switch - can't see storage
I have tried this with 2 machines, 1 SLES9 and the other 9.2 Pro. I have a FC raid and one of the aforementioned computers hooked to a Qlogic SanBox 5200 FC switch. The switch sees both the host and the raids as online 2 Gbit, fabric. When the computer boots - when the qlogic driver loads it will see the Nexsan Ataboy raid. However I cannot see it using the Yast partitioner. Indeed, it sometimes won't even run and I have to kill the processes. Sometimes I can see the raid under the hardare info - but there is only 1 entry with a device name of /dev/sg0. There should be 2, since the raid is 3TB total it has to be partitioned into 2 luns. If I plug the raid directly into the Qlogic 2342 hba on the computer, everything works. The raid is detected as two devices and shows up as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. I also tried downloading the latest hba drivers from Qlogic and compiling them to no avail. I have contacted Qlogic tech support but pretty much all they had me do was run a script that collected lots of system info. I sent that to them yesterday and haven't heard back yet. Any thoughts? Thanks, Joe
