Hello...
I am testing RHEL5 with an EMC CX300 array with a QLogic QLA2340 HBA.
Maybe someone else on the list is using these or can shed some light on
me. ( I'm not an EMC guru )
1:
sdc: cache data unavailable
sdc: assuming drive cache: write through
This EMC has a big heavy battery. I would think write back cache
would increase performance. Is this a qlogic driver issue or a EMC
config issue?
2: SANsurferCLI
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ sudo /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/scli -g
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host Name : orac
OS Type : Linux - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client
release 4.92 x86_64
OS Version : 2.6.18-1.2747.el5
FO API Version : 2.3.2
SDM API Version : v2.03 build13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: No compatible HBA(s) found in current system !
But it is there and all the lights are green. ? ? ?
3: I tried to compile qlogic's driver (qla2xxx-v8.01.06-dist.tgz)
thinking it might help with #1 and #2, but get lots of errors.

? ? ?
The whole unit works. I can see and format the FC LUNS, but it would be
nice if I could get more more performance and use the cli tools. Has
anyone run into similar problems?
TIA

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
