UCs 2.2.6e windows 2008 installation fail

[Hythim Ali El Hadad]

Hi,

I faced the error attached after loading the fnic driver and discovering the boot LUN

LUNLIST display this output

adapter 1/3/1 (fls):2# lunlist 23
vnic : 23 lifid: 12
  - FLOGI State : flogi est (fc_id 0x01080c)
  - PLOGI Sessions
     - WWNN 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:4d WWPN 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:4d fc_id 0x010201
       - LUN's configured (SCSI Type, Version, Vendor, Serial No.)
           LUN ID : 0x0000000000000000  access failure
       - REPORT LUNs Query Response
           LUN ID : 0x0000000000000000
  - Nameserver Query Response
     - WWPN : 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:4d
     - WWPN : 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:4f
     - WWPN : 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:51
     - WWPN : 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:53

Is the Nameserver Query Response is a must to respond with 50:00:d3:10:00:a5:68:4d only ? noting that I have only boot primary path to this WWPN to have one path while windows installation but the Brocade SAN switch guy do zoning for this wwpn with all array wwpn ports.

I'll try to check today windows 2012 or ESXi on another blade to check if the error is related to win 2008

Thanks

You don't see any lun !

Q. Is UCS in FC end host mode ?

Q. Is Brocade in Gateway access mode ?

Q. which VSAN's are defined on UCS FI ?

Q. do you see the flogi of the link connecting UCS FI and Brocade ?

Q. is the zoning done with the initiator pwwn as seen in the SP ?

Hythim,

You are experiencing an access failure for the LUN:

LUN ID : 0x0000000000000000  access failure

Ensure the LUN is properly masked on the storage array and the right WWPN are allowed to access it. Once this is complete, you should get serial number, vendor, model info from the array.

Here is a great guide:

HTH,

What type of storage subsystem do you have ? Jbod ? where each HDD (disk) has their own pwwn ? Lun masking / mapping might be wrong.

Usually (EMC, IBM,....) zoning is done single initiator - single target
