Error occurred while register second Host Bus Adapter HBA with one host

Asked By Vance R Robinson 0 points N/A Posted on - 03/04/2013

 

Hi there,

There is a problem when I try to register a second Host Bus Adapter HBA with one host. Then I examine the current link status of Connectivity Link Status tab and find that the second HBA does not appear. Consequently I register the HBA with ‘Create…. ’ again.

However, an error message appears in the Create Initiator dialog and please finds the following screenshot for your reference.

Does anyone have idea the procedure of registering HBA and any method for the removal of any unregistered dead entry?

Thanks in advance.

Error: Create Initiator Record

SP A: Initiator record already exists.

                                                                          OK

Hello,

Thank's for your question….Well when you check the host in Storagegroup it shows up with two HBA's, but one of them is unregistered or not logged in.See below..

                               

You can follow two steps to get rid of this problem.

1. Remove the zone for the second initiator and then restart the management server on SP.

2. After that re-enable zoning and then you could register the HBA normally.

It will work…:)
