AIX 5.3 server cannot see Luns assigned to it

Hello All,

AIX server version 5.3 cannot see Luns assigned to it.

AIX is connected to CX700 and is already assigned luns and is working fine... When we try to add new luns to exsisting storage group it doesnt recognize. At times even if it does the size of those luns show up as zero bytes at Host level.

Please need some assistance .

Neeta - Can you reply with the following:

1) How many LUNs are in the storage group you are adding these devices?
2) Are these regular LUNs?
3) What are the addresses of the new LUNs you are trying to add?
4) What version of Clariion Flare code are you running.
5) Anything special with the AIX configuration? Running HACMP, Veritas Volume Manager, etc. or just regular AIX?

Fishing for some more details that might shed light on this problem.

Thanks.

What procedure do you follow when adding LUNs to this host.

1. Add LUNs to storage group on Navisphere
2. Run emc_cfgmgr on AIX host (or reboot?)
3. ls dev -Cc disk
4. powermt config; powermt save
5. powermt display dev=all

Could you please post up the outputs from steps 3 and 5?
