symmask list hba

Hi all,

I have a problem with the command "symmask list hba".
My environment:
Windows2003 SP1 server with powerpath 4.6.1, solution enabler 6.3.1 and HBA Qlogic QMC2462S.
DMX3 and 2 DS4100B in ISL on a fabric and 2 DS32-B2 on the other fabric with Firmware Fabric O.S. 5.0.3.
The problem is that I have 2 HBA but the command shows me only one.
However if I perform masking opertions I can see deviced from Powerpath correctly.

Thanks in advance

David

yes,
it is installed and works properly. I changed the setting from "AL and otherwise point-to-point" to "point-to-point2".
I see correctly the 2 hba and the device expanding the hba tab.
The problem seems to be only in the symcli.
From powerpath, operating system and sunsurfer all seems fine....

moreover if I disconnect the fibre that I see from "symmask list hba" , then I use again "symcfg disco" and "symmask list hba" I see the hidden wwn!

that is bizarre ..can you go into c:\Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\db and rename symapi_db.bin to something else ..and run symcfg discover again.

Hi Stefano...good suggestion....
here you are some interesting primus:

emc161154
emc160943
emc166031

It seems a problem related to the version of PowerPath, in fact I unistalled PP 4.6.1 and installed PP 4.5.1 and the command "symmask list hba" returned to works correctly.
However I think to use 4.6.1 because.......as the primus said.....
"it is functioning as per its design"

:-)

Thanks

David
