some QLA2200F/66 card having problem with IBM storage
I have 6 QLA2200F/66 cards using with PE6600 servers connected with the IBM shark storage. Three of them are working fine with this storage and seeking storage successfully. But three of them are not searching storage at all.
The BIOS ver. of the cards are 1.45 I update the BIOS ver from 1.45 to 1.83 & utility ver 1.91 But the problem is same with three cards. they are not seeking storage at all. even though the cards driver are successfully installed in LINIX.
Any body can tell me what can be wrong with the three cards which are not seeking storage. as the remaining card are successfully working with it. it may be a hardware problem in the card should i replace the three cards which r not working????????????
thanks.

No nothing IBM does not require any special configuration. but as you know two of the same model card are success fully working with the storage.
For your information I also tried with adding the Host bus name of the card in the storage configuration. but nothing happend.
So its showing the same behavor.
If you have any idea plz let me know.

The HBA should be able to display the fibre channel SCSI targets in the BIOS. If the targets are not being seen, the HBA's should probably be replaced.
