Hello, everyone!


This post talks about an issue that a Dorado 5000V3 Storage cannot identify the WWN of the host. Please see more details below.


Dorado 5000V3 Storage


ISSUE DESCRIPTION


On one of my Dorado 5000V3 storage devices, the Fibre Channel interface of the HBA card of a host is connected to the storage device through two optical fiber cables.

 

However, after the host has been created on the storage device, the WWN of the host cannot be found when the initiator is added. 


Is there anyone to tell me how to deal with it?


Thank you very much!

This is why the WWN cannot be obtained.

 

For the directly connected device, the FC-AL mode is used.  The P2P is used only when the switch is connected. 


 Log in to the storage device and run the following command to change the running mode and then add the host again:


change model

Hi, werido

Plz, check whether the fiber cables to the host are reachable?

Check whether the ports on the switch are open?

Hello, stephen

I checked the cables are no problem, and my storage was directly connected to the host.

OK, I got it.

Check the running mode of the storage interface connected to the host. P2P or FC-AL?

Thank you!
