SAN Manager LM for HP-UX Release Notes

An Assigned Device Is Not Accessible to an HP-UX Host 39
Troubleshooting
An Assigned Device Is Not Accessible to an HP-UX
Host
Symptom Cause/Solution
An assigned SAN
device is not
accessible on an
HP-UX host.
The LUN is outside of HP-UX’s addressing ability. If a device is in
peripheral device LUN addressing mode and its LUN is greater than 7,
HP-UX hosts will be unable to access the LUN. If possible, put the device
into a different addressing mode, for example, volume set addressing mode.
Note Some arrays call volume set addressing mode “HP-UX mode.”
There may be a hardware addressing conflict between devices on a
loop. Set all devices on loops to unique hard address IDs.
Note Windows NT hosts are not affected by this problem because
Windows NT uses soft addressing while HP-UX uses hard
addressing.
This problem only applies to loop configurations.
