Re: HBA Errors


you have dead paths, not a dead HBA.
I suggest you look for the cause outside of the host (fabric errors/etc).

Subject: HBA Errors

We received adapter errors in our error report. They are all FSCSI_ERR4
errors. At this time, it appears that the volume group is still OK, but we
are seeing errors in the errorlog.
I've called IBM and they are coming out to replace the adapter.
Here is what I'm am proposing to do:

1) unmount all filesystems relating to the volume group.
2) vary the volume group offline
3) rmdev -Rdl the fscsi1 device
4) have the IBM CE physically replace the card
5) Make the necessary changes on the fabric switch (due to changes in the
WWN on the card)
6) Make necessary changes on the Shark (due to changes in the WWN on the
card)
7) run cfgmgr
8) import the volume group

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Drew
