[ovirt-users] FC QLogic question

Fri Sep 12 06:27:59 UTC 2014

Sorry for delay in replying on this, I got pulled into some urgent meetings at the end of the day.

Regarding the questions below,

Yes under the H/W tab my QLogic cards are listed.  Looks like I have two different models of cards, which could be, I think I acquired them off ebay and then got another one later for redundancy.

WWNN and WWPNs are listed.

Miultipath -ll  lists all my LUNs, multipathing is set to RR...  not sure if that could be problem as the SAN I am using (old EMC/DGC CX200) is active passive and I would assume it would be MRU...

Hope this helps, still no LUNs showing up in my Engine.

Thanks again for your help.

Bill

Indeed, sorry for that.

Great!

Please check back in ovirt engine, with Hosts / Hardware info. You should see the adapter there, along with  WWN's ect.

I am not quite sure, but AFAIK the node uses dm-multipath by default (for iscsi multipathing). So what does:
# multipath -ll
list?
