The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

configuring QLogic HBA QLA2460

Asked by Synarc in Storage Technology

We installed QLogic HBA (QLA2460), and also updated
the BIOS and drivers in one of our RHEL5 box. The system
is able to see the HBA, from the SANSurfer GUI.
When I started the GUI, I was able to connect
to the host. I clicked on the "Configure" button, but
it's giving this error "must have fiber devices to configure".
On the left panel of the GUI, it displays the Hostname and HBA
model 2460, but it gives a warning that says "Port 1: Loop Down".
I also clicked on the event log, and I'm finding the following
info: "Status change: Good status: Loop down".
We have ruled-out the bad FC cable, by shining a light on one
end, and we were able to see a beam of light on the opposite end
of the cable.
What else are we missing here?
Thanks for your help,
