Thanks for your reply, Vince.
Unfortunately, both the HBAs and the switch have data rate set to AUTO
already.
Kind regards,

I had a similar situation no to long ago, and it came out to be a
negotiation parameter on the SAN side. Normally the switch is set to
2GB but Dell told us that with these new drivers it had to be set to
AUTO.
I will see if I can find the case we worked on.
But I would take it up with Qlogic, if the OS can see the cards.

Subject: Red Hat qlogic drivers incompatible with QLogic sw?
Some time ago, I installed Red Hat AS4 i386 on a HP DL580
with 2 QLogic QLA2340. As the drivers seemed fairly old, and
the release notes suggested we'd better go with the latest
version, I replaced the drivers that came with Red Hat by the
ones on the QLogic website. From that same website, I also
installed SANsurfer and scli, which basically provide two
interfaces to the HBAs from a running system. I used scli to
configure the HBAs, and all was well.
I have now installed Red Hat AS4 AMD64 on a HP DL585, also
harbouring 2 QLA2340s. The QLogic drivers are more recent,
and I saw no reason to upgrade them. The matching SANsurfer
and scli packages from the qlogic site installed fine, but
unfortunately, they cannot be used. scli complains "Info: No
compatible HBA(s) found in current system", and SAnsurfer
similarly claims it cannot connect to the local host.
Following an upgrade of the kernel on the HP DL580, and the
drivers that came with it, I find that both scli and
SANsurfer have become inoperative there as well. You can
still run the software but again, it won't find the HBAs.
I can see the HBAs and the attached disks using "cat
/proc/scsi/qla2xxx/2"
I can configure the HBAs from Fast!UTIL at boot time, but I
can no longer monitor or configure them from a running system.
It looks like I have the choice of installing the qlogic
drivers from the QLogic website myself, or do without the
configuration utitlities.
So what's the best way forward?
Should I try to resolve this through Red Hat or through QLogic?
Kind regards,
Herta
