YMMV. The dual controller FC10 confused the shit out of the Emulex lpfc driver. lpfc just doesn't know the FC10 might take 5-10 (or more) seconds to reassign LUNs from one controller to the other. I don't expect much better from the SCSI stack but it will depend on the interface driver. ... > Normally on my HP-UX side I would hook up the AutoRAID, do an ioscan > -f, insf -e, and proceed to pvcreate/vgcreate/lvcreate, etc. Since > there is no ioscan in Linux, how can you do a physical scan of the > hardware? At boot time, such a scan takes place. You can look in /proc/scsi/scsi to see which SCSI devices have been discovered. > Any hardware diagnostics?

Also learn about mounting file systems by label rather than by device name grant
