Re: xserve and xraid fiber channel problem



Also, make sure that in the management GUI for your Qlogic switch, you have disabled "I/O Streamguard" for the ports connected to the RAIDs, and enabled it for the ports connected to the hosts. Make sure you are running a compatible firmware as well. IIRC 4.0.6.x was compatible (older) and 5.x is compatible, but 4.2 wasn't (esp if you used copper cables with the Apple card). No reason not to use 5.x if you haven't updated yet.

I had this same problem as well with a QLogic switch. Swaping the card with a new one resolved the problem instantly. I made some posts on the Apple boards as well about this issue.

Hello,
We have 3 xserves running osx server 10.3.9 connecting through a Qlogic sanbox fiber switch to Five (5) xraid controllers. We us lun masking control which server sees which xraid. We have been having a problem with two of the xserves now. AFP craches due to the a Volume off one of the xraids is unmounting. We get the below in syslog at the time it occurs:
Nov 5 00:17:56 dragon kernel: FusionMPT: Notification = 5 (External Bus Reset) for SCSI Domain = 0
Nov 5 00:17:56 dragon kernel: FusionMPT: External Bus Reset for SCSI Domain = 0
Nov 5 00:17:56 dragon kernel: FusionMPT: Notification = 7 (Link Status Change) for SCSI Domain = 0
Nov 5 00:17:56 dragon kernel: FusionFC: Link is down for SCSI Domain = 0.
Nov 5 00:18:04 dragon kernel: FusionMPT: FindTaskForControllerIdentifier() failed, targetID = 3, context = 0x
There is not link down notices on the xraid. So I was thinking that it is either the switch, cable, card or xserve.
On one of the servers a couple weeks back when we were having the problem I swapped cables with no effect. I then swapped fiber card and it seemed to help. But now one of the other xserves is doing it. Could I have two fiber cards go bad in a month?
