Hi Guys,
I had recently installed IBM Nsereis 3400 Storage system, and connected one of my AIX machine with the storage box. I have SnapDrive feature available for AIX SEVER.
The FCP-HOST-ATTACH kit and MPIO modules was also successfully installed in the AIX BOX.
The problem appearing when SnapDrive create and/or connect task excuted from AIX hosts.
See the following consequences.
If I would try to create SnapShot of a LUN mapped to AIX vg from SNapDrive command, I recieved following errors.
snapdrive snap create -vg autoline -snapname testautoline
0001-389 Admin error: Cannot get HBA type for HBA assistant genfcp
Wheever I tried to prepare LUN's following erros is reporting from Snaprive command
# snapdrive config prepare luns -count 32
0001-695 Admin error: Cannot obtain provider information:
When ever I tried to create test lun's and mapp it to my host following error is reporting.
0001-389 Admin error: Cannot get HBA type for HBA assistant genfcp.
However the snapdrive storage show command ran successfully and giving following result
# snapdrive storage show -all -capabilities

Can some one tell what could be the reason of these problems, and from where I should start troubleshooting.
Please quickest and helpful response shall be highly appreciating.
