missing disks and reboot wont solve it
I am very new to veritas. We have AIX 7.1 server using veritas DMP. When I look at the VIO all of the virtual fibre channel adapters are logged in, but on the lpar it is failing to see any disks on fscsi0 and fscsi1. I have been going back and forth with IBM and symantec and cannot get this resolved, so decided to pick your brains here. # lsdev| grep fscsi fscsi0 Available 01-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi1 Available 02-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi2 Available 03-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi3 Available 04-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi4 Available 05-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi5 Available 06-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi6 Available 07-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device fscsi7 Available 08-T1-01 FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device # vxdmpadm listctlr CTLR_NAME ENCLR_TYPE STATE ENCLR_NAME PATH_COUNT ========================================================================= fscsi2 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 fscsi3 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 fscsi4 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 fscsi5 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 fscsi6 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 fscsi7 Hitachi_VSP ENABLED hitachi_vsp0 44 ^ Above you will see that fscsiX seen by OS is not being seen by veritas. How can I force them into veritas? I have already tried rebooting the VIO and LPAR and that doesnt seem to help. FWIW, i deleted the disks that were in defined state. Usually when MPIO is being used and we lose path, deleting the disks and virtual fibrechannel adapter and running cfgmgr solves the issue, but that doesnt seem to help here.Solved
