MSA1000/netware 6

[vale2]

Hi,

i've just connect MSA1000 on an existing cluster with RA4000 array and i have some problems.
Servers seem to discover MSA1000 normally :
the command "list devices" gives me
0x0001 : [V502-A0-D0:0] COMPAQ MSA1000 FW:2.38 ID:0 LUN:0
I've already manage MSA1000 with smartsart and create logical volume...
Well, communication seems to be good but when i try to manage array with NSS, I can't.
"cpqonlin/array configuration utility/compaq 64/66 fibre host adapter in PCI slot x" return a warning : "There are no configurable controllers available in this system. Make sure both CPQFC.HAM and CPQSHD.CDM are loaded" (they are).
And i can't see MSA device in console one..
I have updated drivers, firmware, apply NSS post SP3c..
Is it a problem between my 2 fiber adaptater?
Is there a new cpqfc.ham to download (i see it in beta SP4 for netware)?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

not sure on a msa1000
i assume the cpqfc you have is 2.52
2.54 is latest but you shouldnt get the error

i've never used msa1000 - only have hsg80's

I don't think that CPQONLIN can be used to configure the hardware on an MSA1000. It is more of a SAN and most likely has it's own hardware configuration (AFAIK). Once you setup the drives, etc through it's own configuration utility, the space should be available and accessible to the NSS system.

if it's same as hsg80's then you need to use the cli command line
