Ontap 9.8 with OpenVMS 8.4

marcinmf — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 01:58:07 GMT

We are trying to connect FAS8020 running Ontap 9.8 P21 to OpenVMS OS (8.4 L3). Storage is configured to run FC.

Switches show both initiators and targets logged in to fabric.

On the OpenVMS i can see NetApp ports.

When scanning channels no disks come back or at least information about them to be mounted.

Disk scan shows no identifier defined for device unit

$ mcr sysman io a/log

After some online search most likely there is issue with lun ID, or some kind of ID is missing.

Do anyone have experience with this setup and what i am missing?

Thank you in advance.

Martin.

I can answer my own question.

Ontap 9.8 use -device-legacy-id argument for Lun. The id supplied in this argument will be used as drive name. Older versions is 7 mode use dev_id
