Can't make hba connection work on centos 7

[maniat1k]

Hello everyone, I am currently using an old server with an old storage connected by fiberchannel.
On the storage side I left everything configured but on the server side I do not see the disk that was created for it.
Here is what I have so far:

The cards:

Code: Select all

[root@vmprod01 ~]# lspci | grep Fibre
10:00.0 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr-X LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 02)
10:00.1 Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Zephyr-X LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 02)

[root@vmprod01 ~]# lspci -v -s 10:00.0

        Kernel driver in use: lpfc

so then i need to know if the kernel driver is loaded right?

Code: Select all

root@vmprod01 ~]# lsmod | grep lpfc
lpfc                  702870  0

OK looks like it's loadead right?
What else I have to check/do to have it working?
Remember I'm totally new at this.

You may have SSP (selective storage presentation aka proprietary zones) and/or zones. Do you have FC switches or is this a point-to-point link?
Don't forget that (depending on your FC config) the HBA(s) may have authenticate the the fabric.
Also you can scan for targets at the BIOS level (just to simplify things).

Thanks for the answer!
- Its point to point.
- If the hba has to authenticate: Should not I be the one who sets that up when I create the virtual disk?

can't see anything from the centos.

Code: Select all

[root@vmprod01 ~]# ls -ls /proc/scsi/
total 0
0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 nov 28 15:34 device_info
0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 nov 28 15:34 scsi
0 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 nov 28 15:34 sg

ok I will a little more about the SSP.
Thanks!
