Fiber Channel HBAs in a SAN Fabric

2007-12-24 21:40:00

I have 2 V880 servers, fully patched, attached to 4 Hitachi Thunder 9200's
through a couple of Brocade Silkworm 2400 SAN switches. The servers are
unable to see the storage. The Hitachi SE has verified the SAN switch
configuration and says that it is good. I attached a 9200 directly to the
server, switched the 9200 from point-to-point mode to arbitrated-loop and
the server could see the storage. Does anyone know how to tell if the Sun
HBA cards, X6799A, are in arbitrated-loop mode, point-to-point mode or if
they auto-sense? If they don't auto-sense, how do you set the mode for each
of the cards? Does anyone have any other suggestions for this problem?

Thanks for any responses and I will summarize if I get responses.
