    Hello Tru64 Managers:

    Thanks to all those who replied.
    The problem was in the zoning of the SAN Switch.
    Once I found the problem, it was easy to fix.

    Thanks a lot.

    ----------------------------------------------------
    I am having a problem of all the MSA1000 volumes not
    showing on the SRM Console of DS25 and DS15. Earlier,
    we had the system in our facilities in California and
    now the system is moved to a customer site in Manila,
    Philippines. After booting the system up, I ran into
    the problem of only one path to MSA1000 showing in the
    SRM Console.
     
    Following is our setup:
    * 2 - MSA1000, and 2 - 2x16 San Switches.
    * 6 Alpha Servers (3 TruClusters). Each server has 2
    FCA2384 cards, configured in NSPOF configuration.
    * 2 Windows Servers.
    * Zoning is active on the San Switches for
    controllring which servers see which MSA1000.
    2 Zones, 1 tru64 and 1 windows.
    * Tru64 Zone contains all the Alpha Servers and one
    MSA1000.
    * Windows Zone contains the two Windows Servers and
    the other MSA1000.

    Back in California, when I used to do a "show dev" on
    SRM Console on a DS25, I used to see the following:
     
    dgaXXX.XXXX.X.X.X $X$DGAXXX COMPAQ
    MSA1000 VOLUME 4.xx
    dgbXXX.XXXX.X.X.X $X$DGBXXX COMPAQ
    MSA1000 VOLUME 4.xx
    Dka0.0.0.1.2 DKA0 Compaq
    BD036xxxxx HPB6 (36GB Disk Drive)
    Dka100.1.0.1.2 DKA100 Compaq
    BD036xxxxx HPB6 (36GB Disk Drive)
    Dqa0.0.0.16.0 DQA0
    HL-DT-ST-RW/DVD GCC-4480 2.06 (DVD)
    Dva0.0.0.1000.0 DVA0
    Ega0.0.0.5.2 EGA0
    xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (10/100/1000 ethernet)
    Eia0.0.0.8.0 EIA0
    xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (10/100 ethernet)
    Pga0.0.0.1.3 PGA0 WWN -
    xxx…xxx (Fibre Channel bd)
    Pgb0.0.0.2.3 PGB0 WWN -
    xxx…xxx (Fibre channel bd)
    Pka0.7.0.1.2 PKA0 SCSI Bus
    ID 7 (Internal SCSI Bus)
    Pkb0.7.0.101.2 PKB0 SCSI
    Bus ID 7 (Internal SCSI Bus)
     
      
    But, now, I see only dga and not dgb. In some alpha
    servers, I see dgb and not dga.

    Is there something I need to configure on the Alpha
    Server or the MSA1000, so that I see both dga and dgb
    devices in my SRM Console.
