No SAN Devices are Available on a Solaris Node
If no SAN devices are listed on a Solaris node, find the cause below that best describes the
situation, then attempt the solution.
Symptom Cause/Solution
Assigned SAN
devices are not
available on a
Solaris node.
The host bus adapter (HBA) or drivers are not installed. Install the HBA or
drivers.
SAN-attached storage or other network hardware is powered off. Power
on the drives or network hardware.
Network cables are not connected properly. Verify all cable connections.
There is a failure within the Fibre Channel loop. Power down the Fibre
Channel hardware, then power up the hardware to reset the Fibre Channel
loop.
Note Power up the storage devices first, then the hubs/switches
followed by the SAN Manager LM Windows NT administration
node, and then all other nodes.
The Solaris node cannot access the SAN database because its Fibre
Channel cable is not connected to the loop where the SAN database is
located. This problem is most likely to occur in a dual loop configuration in
which the SAN database is accessible on one loop but not the other. Make
sure the Solaris node is attached to the correct loop.
The Fibre Channel card has become unseated in the computer. Shut
down the computer, remove and reseat the card.
The Fibre Channel card, hub, switch, or storage controller is bad. Run
device and vendor specific diagnostics and replace any bad components.
