Hi!

We have run into a problem with DS20e and EVA3000. In consol mode the
wwidmgr can see the EVA controllers, but not the presented disks:

Consequently it is not possible to boot from the EVA.

If we boot Tru64 from the installation CD the OS can see the disks. So it is
not the presentation or zoning that is the problem.

We have tested KGPSA-C, FCA-2354 and FCA-2384 with different firmware
combinations and zoning shemes. In the above examples a KGPSA-C and
a FCA-2354 is installed. The FCA-2354 and FCA-2384 works fine with
a DS10.

The DS20e in question have lived happily with, and booted from, a
EVA5000 via the KGPSA-C in its younger days.


Any suggestions?


TIA
