Q:
Urgent SAN on Redhat x86_64 problem
If I run probe-luns -a, it shows all 3 luns. I then use fdisk -l and it shows the devices as expected.

Output after reboot:
[root@hhln-mgt-sac101 ~]# fdisk -l

Here is the problem, if I reboot the server, the luns disappear. Fdisk -l shows nothing. I have to run probe-luns again for them to reappear.

Please help. Urgent.


Thanks
Ali.

have u added the drives to the server,
if they were previously added then there is another senario.
add the entry into the fstab file.
mount those drives and then go to the /etc/fstab.conf file
and are u using any one drive as LVM or all the three.
First try to mount the devices and update the fstab file
use #mount -a
if u are finding any sort of problem with the mounting of devices it will prompt the error.
