sansurfer / windows 2003 / cisco 9509 / LSI D280 problems.
Hi all
Got a strange thing occuring on a few windows 2003 machines we have attached to our san. Servers are san attached with 2 qla2300 HBAs to two independant fabrics. We have a vsan + zoning config on each san that brings the HBAs and array ports together. Storage is Storagetek d280. We use RDAC for multipathing. We run up a qlogic utility called sansurfer to check what the HBA can see. All HBAs flashed yellow after a couple of minutes. We then get a pop up dialog asking 'configation change - would you like to refresh the configuration for host :xxxxx yes/no' Click yes and then it clears and sometimes comes back. Click no and it stays yellow. Force a refresh and accept; it refreshes the GUI and after a minute or so causes the HBAs to flash again. and we find that the logs are full of 'status change' messages that occur every few minutes. example Fri Nov 05 16:43:23 GMT 2004 iblonusu72x02b 1-QLA2340 HBA Status Change: Good Status.

Happened on mutiple servers but not all servers. Spoke to STK and Qlogic - no-one has a clue ! |
