CX600 / Navisphere to AIX / Naviagent connectivity problem?
I'm fairly new to storage and coming up to speed the hard way. I hope
I have a configuration issue with the following: CX600 (FLARE 2.16.600.5.012) and a new server P550 / AIX 5.3 ML 4 with Naviagent 6.7.0.4 What I was hoping for was to see the HBA's from the P550 automatically appear in the Navisphere "Connectivity Status" window after starting the Naviagent on the AIX host. I'm in day 9, and it ain't happenin... I *think* I've read everything on the PowerLink site and read every posted thread that looks like my problem. So far it's been all sloppy, and no joe. Here's what I have on the AIX host: # lslpp -L | grep -i NAV NAVIAGENT 6.7.0.4 C F Navisphere Disk Array NAVICLI 6.7.0.4 C F Navisphere Disk Array # # lslpp -L | grep -i EMC EMC.CLARiiON.aix.rte 5.3.0.0 C F EMC CLARiiON AIX Support EMC.CLARiiON.fcp.rte 5.3.0.0 C F EMC CLARiiON FCP Support EMC.CLARiiON.iscsi.rte 5.3.0.0 C F EMC CLARiiON iSCSI Support EMCpower.base 5.0.0.0 C F PowerPath Base Driver and EMCpower.consistency_grp 5.0.0.0 C F PowerPath Consistency Group EMCpower.migration_enabler EMCpower.mpx 5.0.0.0 C F PowerPath Multi_Pathing EMCpower.multi_path_clariion devices.common.IBM.modemcfg.data # # emcpreg -list /* ------ License check Key xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Product: PowerPath Capabilities: All # # ps -ef | grep -i nav /* Agent is running root 344306 401622 0 15:31:27 pts/0 0:00 grep -i nav root 356484 1 0 14:40:03 - 0:00 /usr/bin/naviagent -f /etc/Navisphere/agent.config # # lspv /* Nothing but the boot disks so far (no love from `powermt config`, cfgmgr) hdisk0 000c44d06163706f rootvg active hdisk1 000c44d05e2eedcb rootvg active # # pwd /dev # ls -al pow* crw-rw---- 1 root system 48, 0 Dec 15 14:55 powerpath0 # # ls -al hdiskpower* ls: 0653-341 The file hdiskpower* does not exist. # # pwd /etc/log # tail agent.log 12/15/2006 14:40:02 @(#)Navisphere Agent Revision 6.7.0.4.7 for AIX on 05/27/2004 00:47:36 12/15/2006 14:40:02 Copyright (c) 2004 EMC Corporation.

CX600 / Navisphere to AIX / Naviagent connectivity problem?
I don't have navi in front of me, but there is an update option
somewhere. Do you see other hosts on the CX? And how many hosts are there? (not sure if you are running into it, but CXs have a limit on the # of initiators they can support) And finally do you see the host HBAs from the CLI (-port -list option)?

CX600 / Navisphere to AIX / Naviagent connectivity problem?
Steve you can try this out and see if it works
For Access Logix configurations, follow these steps (which assume that the host is zoned to the array): Install CLArrayS3 on the AIX host. Install Navisphere host Agent. Run cfgmgr to get sp device entries and LUNZ entries. Start Navisphere Agent to push HBA and host information to the array. Connect host to appropriate Storage Group containing LUNs. Remove any LUNZ devices by doing the following: a. Run lsdev -Cc disk - This will show all hdisks that belong to the CLARiiON array in the description. You will see LUNZ and there will be two for each array. b. Remove all LUNZs using rmdev -dl hdisk# (where # is the applicable device number for the LUNZ). Set arraycommpath to 0 (disable) for all HBA paths to the array from the AIX host and also set failovermode to 1 (PowerPath) for all these paths. Run cfgmgr to get all applicable hdisks. Run emc_cfgmgr.sh if multiple adapters are connected to the same SP ports. Install EMC PowerPath. Run powermt config to get hdiskpower devices. Note: When adding a new array, you must run cfgmgr and NOT emc_cfgmgr.sh to get the /dev/sp entries for the new devices. CX600 - 128 initiators per SP and maximum of 256 initiators per CX600 available for server connections. Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 on each SP in any CX600 handle server connections. Port 3 on each SP in a CX600 with MirrorView/A or MirrorView/S enabled also handles remote mirror connections. Each path used in a MirrorView or SAN Copy relationship between two storage system counts as an initiator for both storage systems. Joe Caparrotta

CX600 / Navisphere to AIX / Naviagent connectivity problem?
Thanks all,
I found it, and it was indeed a case of me traveling too fast on the learning curve and hitting an infrastructure guard-rail. When I attempted to "add balance" to the port assignments, I had not physically followed the cabling all the way from the switch rack to the SP's. I mapped the HBA's to Ports 2 & 3.....and they have never been cabled to anything. Moved this server's HBA's to 0 & 1, and immediately observed the magic I had hoped for on day on. Sorry to have wasted everyone's time on something that dumb. wrote: Steve you can try this out and see if it works For Access Logix configurations, follow these steps (which assume that the host is zoned to the array): Install CLArrayS3 on the AIX host.
