SUSE 11 SP2 Snapdrive 5.1 HU 6.1 FC , snapdrive storage show -all not working

pauli — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:13:55 GMT

Hi all,

I am curently installing HU6.1 and SDU 5.1 on a SUSE 11 SP2 Linux . later I will use SMO 3.3 with it.

I am using EMULEX HBAs in it. The Konfig is ok as I checked it in the interoperability matrix!

oralip05:/var/log # sanlun fcp show adapter -v

adapter name: host1

WWPN: 10000000c98f7a84

As you can see HU 6.1 is working.

I use the the following multipath.conf file:

oralip05:/var/log # cat /etc/multipath.conf

defaults {

user_friendly_names no

max_fds max

queue_without_daemon no

flush_on_last_del yes

}

blacklist {

wwid 36003005700a5e29013154d5f3409ca21

devnode "^hd[a-z]"

devnode "^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*"

devnode "^cciss.*"

}

devices {

device {

vendor "NETAPP"

product "LUN"

getuid_callout "/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/%n"

prio "alua"

features "3 queue_if_no_path pg_init_retries 50"

hardware_handler "1 alua"

path_grouping_policy group_by_prio

failback immediate

rr_weight uniform

rr_min_io 128

path_checker tur

}

Looks like Mutlipath is working also:

oralip05:/var/log #

when I install Snapdrive 5.1 and edit the snapdrive.conf file like this:

Host platform default transport multipathing fstype vmtype

type type

------------------- ----------------------- ----------------- --------- -------------

Linux FCP nativempio ext3 lvm

I get the following error:

oralip05:/var/log # snapdrived start

WARNING!!! Unable to find a SAN storage stack. Please verify that the appropriate transport protocol, volume manager, file system and multipathing type are installed and configured in the system. If NFS is being used, this warning message can be ignored.

Successfully started daemon

oralip05:/var/log #

This message I do not understand as I am using the combination of the parameters in the snapdrive.conf file that is in the docu.

When I try the following command I get the following message:

oralip05:/var/log # snapdrive storage show -all

WARNING: This operation can take several minutes

based on the configuration.

0001-185 Command error: storage show failed: no NETAPP devices to show or add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) on the storage system or retry after changing snapdrive.conf to use https for storage system communication and restarting snapdrive daemon.

oralip05:/var/log #

As this command need to run and not fail I know I am in trouble!

Anyone knows what I have missed or can give me some hints?

Thanks

Hello Horst,

Couple of things. Can you please check if you are running at following software version and configuration. This information is available in IMT too.

(1) lvm2-2.02.84-3.33.1

(2) device-mapper-1.02.63-18.27.1

(3) add 'udev_sync = 1' to activation section of /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

I assume sg3_utils.rpm is already installed.

Thanks,

Himanshu

Hi Himanshu,

Thanks for your reply. I have the following installed:

oralip05:/ # rpm -qa | grep lvm

lvm2-2.02.84-3.37.1

oralip05:/ # rpm -qa | grep device-mapper

device-mapper-1.02.63-18.27.1

device-mapper-32bit-1.02.63-18.27.1

oralip05:/ # grep udev_sync /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

udev_sync = 1

oralip05:/ # rpm -qa | grep sg3

sg3_utils-1.31-1.17.1

oralip05:/ #

So not the exact Version like in the documentation but newer!

Thanks

Horst

Hi all,

Problem solved. I had to install a 32bit package:

oralip05:~ # rpm -qa | grep libnl

libnl-32bit-1.1-49.22.4.1

libnl-1.1-49.18

oralip05:~ #

The 64 bit package of libnl was installed so we installed the 32-bit version of libnl afterwards.This was done by YAST.

then I had to stop/start snapdrived:

oralip05:/ # snapdrived stop

Successfully stopped daemon

oralip05:/ # snapdrived start

Successfully started daemon

oralip05:/ #

Now the snapdrive command works like a charm:

oralip05:/ # snapdrive storage show -all

WARNING: This operation can take several minutes

based on the configuration.

I also had the issue on a other SUSE 11 SP2 server:

oralip04:/var/log # sanlun fcp show adapter -v

Unable to locate /usr/lib64/libHBAAPI.so library

Make sure the package installing the library is installed & loaded

oralip04:/var/log #

Also the command hbautil ListHBA was giving some weired output.

We had just installed elxocmcore-sles10-sles11-6.0.9.1-1.tar again (reinstall) and then it worked!

Thanks,

Horst
