I am trying to configure RH7.4, installed a Dell Poweredge FC830 to talk to an EMC Unity SAN. The server has a QLogic BCM57xx card. I used the lifecycle controller to deploy the OS. After the installation I couldn't see the expected 'Fibre' lines in the lspci output. What I can see is:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.2 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.3 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.4 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.5 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.6 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11) 01:00.7 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited BCM57840 NetXtreme II Ethernet Multi Function (rev 11)
There is two NICs with four ports. Ports are partitioned. Two partitions per port. For the first two ports, partition one is a Ethernet IF and partition two is a FCoE interface. The server was zoned with a Windows OS disk. The initiators on the SAN(EMC Unity 500) were visible. After installing RedHat the SAN is moaning that its lost the connection to the initiators. Although I ran the scsi-rescan script I cannot see the SAN from the server. I installed the qla2xxx module and loaded it.
lsmod | grep fc scsi_transport_fc 64007 1 qla2xxx scsi_tgt 20027 1 scsi_transport_fcStill cannot see the SAN and vice versa. I am clueless and don't know on how to continue from here. Any help would be much appreciated.
