[Info-vax] RX4640 and Fibre channels

[Joukj]

Hi all,

I have a Rx4640,which boots OpenVMS V8.4 fine. Presently I try to get a 
FibreChannel storage (DS2400) working, but up to now no success.

The controler looks within OpenVMS like this:
Device FGA0:, device type QLogic ISP23xx FibreChannel, is offline, 
shareable,
     error logging is enabled.

     Error count                    2    Operations completed 
        3
     Owner process                 ""    Owner UIC 
[SYSTEM]
     Owner process ID        00000000    Dev Prot 
S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G,W
     Reference count                0    Default buffer size 
        0
     Current preferred CPU Id       0    Fastpath 
        1
     Current Interrupt CPU Id       0
     FC Port Name 2100-00E0-8B02-6299    FC Node Name 
2100-00E0-8B02-6299

Device FGB0:, device type QLogic ISP23xx FibreChannel, is online, shareable,
     error logging is enabled.

     Error count                    0    Operations completed 
        3
     Owner process                 ""    Owner UIC 
[SYSTEM]
     Owner process ID        00000000    Dev Prot 
S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G,W
     Reference count                0    Default buffer size 
        0
     Current preferred CPU Id       1    Fastpath 
        1
     Current Interrupt CPU Id       1
     FC Port Name 2100-00E0-8B02-049D    FC Node Name 
2100-00E0-8B02-049D

(The only difference between FGA and FGB is that FGB has no cable 
connected and that FGA is connected to the storage array.)

No disk-devices are visible.


What bothers me is that when I go into the EFI-shell before booting, I 
do not see the device at all (I gave the command "devices")

One Idea was that maybe the EFI driver was missing. However when 
invoking the efiutil command from the firm-ware- CD
(

taskId=135&swLang=8&swEnvOID=2061&prodNameId=331475&lang=en&cc=us&idx=0&mode=4&
)
it tells me that no FC-devices are present and that the driver cannot be 
"updated"



Any idea what maybe the problem?
