Hi Kevin, Thanks for the reply. I actually did remove all of those devices
and then re-add them but got the same result. I spoke to our SAN swtich
admin, who is very frustrated with me by now and he said that this node is
in the same exact zone as another node.
Here is the output from the node with the issues. Below is the output from
the node that is in production. I just realized that on the production node
there are paths that are DEAD. If these paths are dead, then I'm thinking
that this is why cfgmgr can't define path there. hmmm....

Try running cfgmgr again. If that does not work, you might try deleting the
vpath/hdisk/fcs and then cfgmgr.
Also, have you checked the LUN assignments via the ESS specialist? Try
running an lsvp -d to see ESS HBA assignments.
I would at least try this before other things.

Sounds like a fabric configuration issue since we eliminate the FC
adapter ( you can see 2 paths there ) and the storage device/switches
since FCS0 can see 4 paths. Looks like they may not have given the FCS1
all 4 paths.

I haven't set up any VGs using these disks yet. I've explained the
situation to our SAN Switch admin to ask him to double check the
configuration. Like you said, it seems like I only have two paths to
fcs1.
Perhaps the mapping on the switch.....

What is the output of:
datapath query device
Looks like fcs1 only has 2 paths to the disk.

Subject: vpath vs hdisk question
Hello everyone,
Quick question about Shark storage. I'm connecting an AIX5.1 ML3 box to
a
shark. Everything seems normal except when I do an lsdev -Cc disk, I see
Two Vpaths (which I expect) but I see four hdisks for fcs0 and only two
hdisks for fcs1.
This isn't normal is it?
lsdev -Cc disk
hdisk0 Available 40-60-00-4,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 40-60-00-8,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
vpath0 Available Data Path Optimizer Pseudo Device Driver
vpath1 Available Data Path Optimizer Pseudo Device Driver
hdisk2 Available 11-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
hdisk3 Available 11-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
hdisk4 Available 11-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
hdisk5 Available 11-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
hdisk6 Available 14-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
hdisk7 Available 14-08-01 IBM FC 2105800
lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs
fcs0 Available 11-08 FC Adapter
fcs1 Available 14-08 FC Adapter
Filesets that I am running:
devices.sdd.51.rte 1.5.0.0
devices.common.IBM.fc.rte 5.1.0.51
devices.fcp.disk.array.rte 5.1.0.61
devices.fcp.disk.rte 5.1.0.58
devices.fcp.tape.rte 5.1.0.52
I don't know if it makes a difference but there are two luns mapped that
are 840 Gb each. Each fibre-channel adapter is configured to use four
ports
on the shark.
Thank you all in advance.
Drew
