I have LUNs connected to my host machine(win 2k3 x86 machine)via FC…
I see all the LUNs connected to the win 2k3 x86 host in disk management console…
However I dont see the LUNs when I connect the same storage array a to win 2k8 R2 machine…
I see that qlogic driver’s version differ in both the machine…
Below are the details of the driver on bot
Usually I don’t do anything of that sort. I just create volumes in the array and connect to the host via FC. LUNs will immediately show up as PhysicalDrives in the Disk Management console.
But the same procedure doesn’t seem to work in a Win2K8 R2 machine.
We do mapping to restrict the visibility of the LUNs to a host. Even tried to map those volumes to this host but that doesn’t help as well.
What is your storage array? Are you using two different QLogic cards in
Win2k3 & win2k8?
Looks like a LUN assignment problem (assuming you have zoned properly or
turned it off) …
Why don’t you monitor through an FC analyzer? In that check whether the
name-server (FFFFFC) is sending all target’s N-port id in it (either in
GPN_FT, GNN_FT …). If you are seeing the target, then you might have
missed assigning LUNs to your initiator in that specific target.
