I recently decomissioned an old server that was connected to 3 LUNs on my CX300. My HBAs are SLA2340s and my McData switches are Sphereon 4500s. I have accessed the web interface on both the SAN and the switches. I have created a new storage group for the server that I have installed the cards into that i want to utilize the 3 LUNs from. I have installed the Navisphere client and agent. I have also done basic config on the cards through SANsurfer. My problem is that i cannot get the PowerPath client to see the SAN, nor can I see the new host from the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is this something that should happen automatically or do I have to manually register the host? If so, how would I do that. I have also created a zone for my HBAs on both switches. They seem to be communicating with them fine, just not the Clariion.
