I am having problems with a Solaris 10 server to be able to recognize a Fujitsu disk array. I have checked and found that the HBA card appears offline, I tried to reload it and configure it but none of it have succeeded. So, I need your kind help to find a solution for this as I feel a bit stuck!
bash-3.2# luxadm -e port
/devices/pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@8/QLGC,qlc@0,1/fp@0,0:devctl NOT CONNECTED
/devices/pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@8/QLGC,qlc@0/fp@0,0:devctl NOT CONNECTED
bash-3.2#
Do you have connection lights on the back of the HBA? Do you have them on whatever (e.g. SAN switch) it is attached to?
Usually when I see offline (on Linux - I don't have Solaris any longer) it is because the fiber signal isn't going into the correct port one end or the other. Usually flipping the cables at one end solves it. You can also look at the end of the cables (not for long!) to see if there is a light coming from the other end. (Magnifying glasses or a dark environment help with that.)
