Storage Manager for SANs
Unable to Assign LUNs to Windows 2008 Server
The Windows Server 2008 Storage Manager for SANs utility can be used to
create and manage virtual disks in the MD3000 from the host server. If the host
server contains SAS 5/i HBAs, the SAS 5/i ports must be disabled in the Storage
Manager for SANs utility to prevent issues with assigning virtual disks (LUNs)
to the host server.
Perform the following steps:
1
Click LUN Management
2 Click Manage Server Connection
3 Select the host server
4 In the Fiber Channel Ports tab, disable all the SAS 5/i ports and leave
the SAS 5/e ports enabled.
There are 8 SAS 5/i ports per SAS 5/i HBA in the host server. The HBA Port
WWN has the following format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:00 to
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:07.
NOTE: SAS 5/e HBAs have two ports with HBA Port WWN as follows:
yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:00 and yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:04
