Problems seeing raid array attached to a qla2312

I'm having problems seeing a Fibrenetix VP-1242-FC raid array via a qla2312 HBA on a dual Xeon box running a RHEL3.0 clone - using a 2.4.21 based kernel.

The first port on the qla2312 has a Quantum tape library and two SDLT tape drives - which the OS can see fine.

The raid array is attached to the 2nd port on the qla2312 - it is configured with 3 volumes at luns 0, 1 and 2 - unfortunately, the OS can't 'see' the 3 disk volumes ...

The two ports on the qla2312 are scsi2 and scsi3

However, at the BIOS level, the array can be seen. Also, the file /proc/scsi/qla2300/3 ends with:

SCSI LUN Information:
(Id:Lun) * - indicates lun is not registered with the OS. ( 0: 0): Total reqs 60, Pending reqs 0, flags 0x0, 1:0:00, ( 0: 1): Total reqs 0, Pending reqs 0, flags 0x0*, 1:0:00, ( 0: 2): Total reqs 0, Pending reqs 0, flags 0x0*, 1:0:00,

which seems to indicate something is there ...

(full output from /proc/scsi/qla2300/[23] below.

I'm using v7.00.03 of the qla2300 driver (downloaded from Qlogic's web site).

I've tried:

echo "scsi add-single-device 3 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

etc. but it doesn't make a difference

As a test, I attached the raid array to an SGI IRIX server (using qla2342 HBA) - and it could see the three volumes with out a problem.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks

I've managed to get this working - by using an older version of the qla2300 driver ...

I found a copy of 6.01.00-fo, so now /proc/scsi/qla2300/3 reports:

QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for ISP23xx:

         Firmware version:  3.01.13, Driver version 6.01.00-fo

and the three disk volumes are found and are available.

I guess the driver downloads the firmware, as this is different from the firmware reported with driver version 7.00.03-fo

So it looks like the disk array doesn't like the newer qla2300 driver/firmware ... (or vice versa)

This turned out to be a problem with the firmware on the raid array - upgrading to a newer version fixed this issue.
