Hello, Has anyone installed FreeBSD 4.2-i386 on a system connected to an external SAN via isp(4) (QLA2342)? My main issue is reordering of da nodes.
I have both an Intel and IBM server which I do an install onto the internal Adaptec controller. After install, I then connect the SAN and soft reboot. The good news is that it sees the volumes but I get dumped into the mountroot prompt. Okay, no big deal. My da's in the fstab were reordered so I try to find it by mounting s1a from the other da nodes and no matter what I choose I can not mount root. I can't see the exact disk because dmesg scrolls by too fast but based on the number of da's, it seems to have found both the internal Adaptec and external SAN via the QLogic 23xx card. I tried every node but nothing mounts (I get either 6 or 22 I forgot off hand). Has anyone seen this before? If I disconnect the SAN, the box mounts root normally via the da0s1a node which is the first disk off the Adaptec SCSI controller (dual-channel U320). I believe there is no glabel here so I can't label anything (is there a way to use the packid off the old disklabel utility?). Thanks! -aps PS Please don't ask me why I have to use 4.2, I just do! :( _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
