LINK NOT CONNECTED

Hello

I just finish new AFF a220 setup which is attached to our Cisco MDS 9148 to and I can not get a link between the two.

I've configured both sides of FC and matched the speed. (8Gb) I must be missing something in between that I can't figure out.

This is the setting/config for one of the connections SAN side:

Note : There is just something strange that the Physical Protocol: ethernet !!

What’s the output of “ucadmin show”. You might have to change the port from CNA to FC

This is the output of the command, and as shown by Current Mode is CNA

CTRA::> ucadmin show Current Current Pending Pending Admin Node Adapter Mode Type Mode Type Status ------------ ------- ------- --------- ------- --------- ----------- CTRA-01 0c cna target - - online CTRA-01 0d cna target - - online CTRA-01 0e cna target - - online CTRA-01 0f cna target - - online CTRB 0c cna target - - online CTRB 0d cna target - - online CTRB 0e cna target - - online CTRB 0f cna target - - online 8 entries were displayed.

Thank you for the clarification ,, I changed the mode to the fc for all adapter i need it as shown

fcp adapter modify -node CTRA-01 -adapter 0c -status-admin down

modify -node CTR-01 -adapter 0c -m fc

also i do the same for the node B

seems to me everything went well.

thanks

No problem. Be sure to also do takeovers on each node to set the change. And verify that each port is FC/target.
