QL2300 did´nt see the Device´s after reboot from NW 6.5 1

[Ewela]

I´ve a HP DL380 G3 with to QL2300 HBA´s.
OS: Netware 6.5 SP 2
QL2300 : Version 6.80 / with actual Bios wich is disabled

When i start or restart the Machine the Driver can not the the devices. When I type "scan all luns", I get the missed devices.
The Ql2300 Driver starts in the startup.NCF with the following parameters SLOT=3 or SLOT=2 /luns /portnames

Ewela, Not sure how to answer.. Did you just upgrade?

I found your post helpful in that I have a client dealing with a similar problem after upgrading to NW65SP2 (from NW6.0). After the upgrade, their backup software would not recognize their tape loader. After much searching, I found your "Scan all luns". I've never heard of this command before, but after typing that at the console, the backup software sees the Loader just fine.

So I just put it into the startup files so it runs before the tape software. problem solved.

fwiw here is how we load our QLogic driver:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=4 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /QUALIFIED /XRETRY=400 /CONSOLE

/console is esp good bc it writes any events to the console..

we run w/bios disabled as well.
Do you run a multipath driver? If so, which one?
What do you get if you do a "list devices"? The tape is not listed?

We're on 6.80.03 3/22/04 of QL2300.ham, running IBM storage.
