Have you configured the RAID system?

If it is an arbitrated loop are you sure each loop ID is different? Or is it
on a switch, and is each one properly logging in and ID's being properly
aliased? If there is a switch can you bypass the switch?

The time I had this happen, it was a matter of properly configuring the
RAID. At this point I'm simply going through the motions to aid you in
debunking the problem. That means running down all avenues to possibly find
the one path you might not have tried.

I have seen FC cards hard themselves as ID 5. I think it was QLogic that did
that, but it could also have been an LSI card I was using.

hello
thank you for your help
1. there is a switch (brocade 2400), i might bypass the switch, but then i
can't copy the drives or i have to install a second fibre channel card!
2. furthermore the qlogic recognises the dell array (target system) as a
disk (the qlogic programm helps doing so) with luns but the infortrend array
is still a device no drive without any luns.
3. what do you mean with ID
thx
