I’m struggling with one of our 8080EX clusters, and was wondering if you can help.
I’m attempting to add a cluster of ESX hosts using FC. The hosts have a connection directly to Brocade 5100’s and these then have onward connections to the 8080EX heads. I’ve zoned everything out as per the numerous guides online, with the host WWPNs in the same zone as the lif WWpN. No other WWNs or WWPNs are in the zone.
When I attempt a ping-igroup, the initiator interfaces show as “Reachable” which (I hope) tells me that I’ve got my zoning correct, however each initiator also shows “wwpn-not-logged_in” The Brocade switch shows up if I fcp topology show, and whilst I have taken half the paths down to simplify troubleshooting, it’s showing the NetApp connections as NPIV aware ports, as expected.
In 7-Mode the FC logins would be shown on the SP console, allowing me to see what was happening, but alas I don’t know how to view this on ONTAP9.1
At this stage, any help or advice you can offer would be gratefully received, as I’m really keen to move this cluster over!
Thanks in advance.
