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----- qla2x00_set_info starts at address = e9100060 qla2x00: Found VID=1077 DID=2312 SSVID=e11 SSDID=100 scsi(0): Found a QLA2312 @ bus 6, device 0x1, irq 15, iobase 0xf9030000 scsi(0): 64 Bit PCI Addressing Enabled. scsi(0): Allocated 4096 SRB(s). scsi(0): Configure NVRAM parameters... scsi(0): Verifying loaded RISC code... scsi(0): Verifying chip... scsi(0): LIP reset occurred. scsi(0): Waiting for LIP to complete... scsi(0): LOOP UP detected. scsi(0): Port database changed. scsi(0): Topology - (F_Port), Host Loop address 0xffff qla2x00_detect num_hosts=0 scsi-qla0-adapter-port=210000e08b181c22\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-0-node=50060b000014f4ce\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-0-port=50060b0000234817\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-0-control=00\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-0-preferred=ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-1-node=50060b000014f4ce\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-1-port=50060b00001e955c\; scsi-qla0-tgt-0-di-1-control=80\; scsi0 : QLogic QLA2312 PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter: bus 6 device 1 irq 15 Firmware version: 3.02.28, Driver version 7.00.03-fo 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 scsi(0:0:0:0): Enabled tagged queuing, queue depth 16.
