Hi Christopher.
There is a quick start guide fro CLARiiON, but I'll review it
once again for Linux iSCSI.
Rgeards,
Wayne.

Thanks for replying
1.) These messages are from the SCSI midlayer's inquiry of the device.
It assumes that there is no cache beacause it is not aware of the DGC
type device. These are just warnings and are not indicative of the
CLARiiONs cache not being operable. The cache in the CLARiiON is set
on
an SP basis for raed and on both SPs for write. You can verify the
setting trough the Cache tab under the array properties in your
Navisphere manager.
OK, both read and write cache are enabled. (It would be nice to be able
to increase the memory for write cache as it has a max)
2.) Presently, QlLogic is working on getting a SANsurfer and scli
ready
for the RHEL 5.0 release with the inbox driver. The present SANsurfer
and scli posted on the website will not work with the inbox driver.
The
inbox driver is a sysfs() based driver and accepted upstream by the
Linux community unlike like the out of box drivers from QLogic that
are
QLogic IOCTL based. Please continue to use the inbox driver for an EMC
supported configuration.
can do. I would recommend posting here (or rhel5-list@ when active)
when
qlogic/emc has something available.
3.) The out of box driver you mentioned will not work in the RHEL 5.0
kernel and is not supported by Red Hat or EMC for use with EMC
qualified
configurations.
I like that much better. :) I had this EMC on a RHEL3 server until a
few
weeks ago. All the extra software was a PITA, especially during kernel
upgrades.
I would also recommend a "quick start" guide to adding an EMC array only
using the built in RHEL5 tools (plus SanSurfer) even if the
functionality
is reduced.
thanks again for the info.
Regards,
Wayne.

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

? ? ?
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.
