Re: Problems seeing raid array attached to a qla2312

[James Pearson <james-p@moving-picture.com>]

I've managed to get this working - by using an older version of the
qla2300 driver ...

I found a copy of 6.01.00-fo, so now /proc/scsi/qla2300/3 reports:

QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for ISP23xx:
         Firmware version:  3.01.13, Driver version 6.01.00-fo

and the three disk volumes are found and are available.

I guess the driver downloads the firmware, as this is different from the
firmware reported with driver version 7.00.03-fo

So it looks like the disk array doesn't like the newer qla2300
driver/firmware ... (or vice versa)
