    Hello.

    Our company is running a HP Virtual Array 7410 as a Storage System for our
    HP-UX, Linux and W2K servers.
    A few weeks ago we connected a Cisco MDS9216 SAN- Switch for testing
    purposes to our testing SAN.
    As server we choose SuSE Enterprise Server 8 with Kernel 2.4.19 Build 304
    and a Windows box.

    We configured the first two LUNs for Windows and the following two for
    Linux.
    Linux did not recognize his LUNs. Only after permitting Linux access to the
    Windows LUNs it would "see" his own storage.

    We contacted our HP Support and they found out, that in the following line
    the product number is incorrect:
    {"HP", "A6189B", "*", BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_LARGELUN}, //HP Va7410
    Array
    It should be A6218A. Otherwise Linux would miss every LUN located "behind" a
    LUN- Gap.
    As this is not a SuSE specific problem, I am posting it to this mailing
    list.
    If you have further questions, please contact me.

    Thanks and best regards.
