Solution Type: Sun Alert
Solution 234381 : Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM) 6.0.1
May Record an Incorrect IP Address For One of The Controllers During
Array Registration
Bug ID: 6656098
Product
Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software 6.0.1
Date of Workaround Release: 10-Mar-2008
SA Document Body
Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM) 6.0.1 May Record an Incorrect IP
Address
1. Impact
On arrays registered by the CAM graphical interface, it may be
possible for the IP address of one of the controllers to be
incorrectly recorded in the device file for the array. This may lead
to communication issues with the controller via the CAM management
software.
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
* Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM) 6.0.1
on the following platforms:
* Sun StorageTek 2530 array
* Sun StorageTek 2540 array
* Sun StorEdge 6130 array
* Sun StorageTek 6140 array
* Sun StorageTek 6540 array
Note: This issue only occurs if the array is registered via the CAM
graphical interface, using the "Register Storage System" wizard.
3. Symptoms
If the described issue is experienced, the inability to communicate
with one of the array controllers will occur. As a result, issues
such as the inability to perform a service action on the controller,
the CAM graphical interface losing all ability to manage the array,
and incomplete output in the "stateCaptureData.dmp" file gathered by
the supportData utility may be seen.
4. Workaround
To work around the described issue, remove the existing array
registration, and re-register the array by using the following
command :
$ ras_admin discover_subnet -I <IP_address_of_one_controller>
The location of the "ras_admin" command depends on the host OS that
CAM is installed on :
(Solaris) /opt/SUNWsefms/bin/ras_admin
(Linux) /opt/sun/cam/private/fms/bin/ras_admin
(Windows) C:\Program Files\Sun\Common Array
Manager\Component\fms\bin\ras_admin.bat
When the array is re-registered via this command then the correct IP
address for both controllers will be recorded in the device file for
the array.
5. Resolution
A final resolution is pending completion.
