46 targets - all disks in four separate A5000 JBOD boxes attached to the FC hub. > > However the Sun server refuses to handle it...

What else was attached to that ultra2 > besides this array? The HSG80 array was directly connected to it's own dedicated HBA adapter on that Ultra2. Unfortunately I've ran out of PCI HBA's right now (this is a server for the students computer club) - the Ultra2 HBAs is SBus ones (for obvious reasons) - the new server is an Ultra 450. > My strong suspicion is that you've got too many targets on the loop > and so one of the other devices in your loop is now unable to acquire > an address at all. Hmm... Would it help if I use a FC switch instead of a hub (probably not is my hunch). -- Peter Eriksson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Phone: +46 13 28 2786 Computer Systems Manager/BOFH Cell/GSM: +46 705 18 2786 Physics Department, Linköping University Room: Building F, F203 SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden http://www.ifm.liu.se/~peter _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
