Hello
While trying to connect an DS20E to the EMC Symmetrix V via the
fibrechannel we encountered the following 'feature':
During usage of disklabel or diskconfig the disks accessed will
'duplicate' (a second scsi component with a new ID will be seen by hwmgr
- but the disk address will be the same as the one accessed). After this
both accessed disk and the 'duplicate' will be inaccessible - until the
duplicate is deleted via hwmgr -delete.
Has anybody seen something like it before? :)
The configuration of the disks is following:
lun16 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk7
lun32 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk8
lun48 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk9
lun64 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk10
lun80 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk11
lun96 (bus0, addr. 0) - dsk12
Trying to access the last two will always cause random duplication (i.e.
the disk accessed and also some other disks will 'duplicate'). With
others this feature is random.
EMC doesn't log any errors..
Hw configuration:
DS20E, 2x667 processors, 1.2Gb ram, 18.2GB scsi system disk via symbios
controller, 2x293440201 32-bit fibrechannel controllers, 2xde600
nic's.
Sw configuration:
SRM is 5.8 (i.e. latest)
OS is Tru64 5.1 with SP1
As usual, i'll summarize :)
