hi i have a sun machine which has one hba 2ports;
out of which one port says it is not connected

# luxadm -e port
/devices/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0:devctl                    CONNECTED
/devices/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0:devctl                  NOT CONNECTED

but both the hba ports are online and they are logging in to fiber channel switch

# fcinfo hba-port

so what is your question/problem?

3

my question is The second path says not connected in luxadm -e port o/p.
Can you tell me what is the problem here. i can provide any other commands output if needed.
Thanks in Advance...

there are many possibilities for problems... maybe it is not connected. you didn't mention where the real problem is! should there be storage visible which isn't?! do you use multipathing? your information didn't say anything at all!
if there isn't any storage attached and the port is only connected to your san, the state "not connected" is perfectly normal.

check cfgadm -al to check if its connected. if yes, try this.
luxadm -e forcelip /devices/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0:devctl

did you install the drivers SUN SAN?

the SAN packages are only for pre solaris 10 releases.

For Solaris 10, SAN packages come together with the recommended patch cluster.

Is your problem solved? Was is it a physical issue?
