Hello *,
I am trying to attach a linux box HP Proliant DL380 to a HP VA7x00 FC storage system. The Driver seems to work i think, because I can see the LUNs in /proc/scsi/qla2300/0 and also in /proc/scsi/scsi i can see them. The problem is, that i can't access them. fdisk /dev/sda reports open failed. So, whats wrong?
Kernel: 2.4.21-243-smp on a SuSE Linux 9.0
dmesg reports the following: -----snipp-----
scsi: unknown type 12 Vendor: HP Model: A6218A Rev: A100 Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 03 scsi: host 0 ch 0 id 0 lun 16384 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter scsi: host 0 ch 0 id 0 lun 16385 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter scsi: host 0 ch 0 id 0 lun 16386 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter scsi: host 0 ch 0 id 0 lun 16387 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter
----- snip----- Are you really using LUN numbers that large? The arrrays I'm familiar with only support LUN numbers between 0 - 99. And most OS's are even more restrictive. I'm not sure what the limit is for your kernel. If the above LUN numbers are correct, I suggest reconfiguring your VA to use much smaller LUN numbers. If the LUN numbers are wrong, then you have found a bug and you need to report it appropriately. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
