I am configuring an inherited DS20 with a SAN fiber network based on HSG80. If i use Fabric topology with a 8-EL fiber switch, i cant see the HSG units. For testing purposes, i have connected the HBA ang HSG directly without switch. If i configure HSG ports as arbitrated-loop, i can see and use volumes. Back to FABRIC topology, from srm console, i can see the units:

It looks to me that the SAN network is working (i can see volumes from SRM) but something is wrong with lpfc driver or scsi_transport_fc. According to emulex information about lpfc module, there are some tools, like lputil, that are missing in the debian installation. There is no lpfc driver for alpha architecture in the manufacturer site. Has anybody succesfuly compiled the sources in alpha. Any help welcome.
