Hi Guys n' Girls!!
This is driving me nuts, I am overlooking a detail in my configuration but I cannot see it myself, sorry so now I am looking for fresh eyes to look over my shoulders and therefore I am writing to all of you.
I have an IBM Server x345 with 2 internal SCSI disk, 4 GB RAM and two CPU's and I have a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 2.1 AS using the 2.4.9-e27 SMP kernel and everything has been just fine until now. In the server I also have two Qlogic Fibre Adapters (QLA2310F) and I have seen that Red Hat offers official support for exactlt that driver and that is cool, however I have one MAJOR problem, the operativ system cannot see the storage I have been granted (total 180 GB) and that is spooky because when I boot the server I can see some detection of the HITACHI disk Subsystem and I am not able to allocate the new "raw devices" to my system using the fdisk utility.
I am more than convinced that I have a driver problem, but how on earth shall I attack and solve this problem, because looking at all the information below it seems that I am close.
I have now installed the Command Line Interface of QLogic Host Bus Adapters and here are some usefull info and I truly believe that I have a driver problem. At some point as you can see below I get a "Unable to access LUN(s) on the specified device". As you can see the 180 GB I want to see is present but I can't see them from the OS
I have even installed the SANSurfer and when I try to write to the configuration in the GUI I get An invalid device and LUN configuration has been detected.
Could my problem be around that I see the same LUN's via two HBA's?
Sorry for all the info, but that is the only thing I can do
