2 Servers upgraded from XS 6.5 SP1 to XS 7.0
HPE SN1000Q FC HBAs
Description
I upgraded to Servers from 6.5 SP1 to 7.0.
Server B had 2 HBAs installed pre upgrade.
Server A had them installed post upgrade.
Server B is working as expected and finds SAN LUNs.
Server A is in somewhat "half state".
Hardware found by kernel:
# lspci | grep QLogic 04:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP8324-based 16Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter (rev 02) 04:00.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.

Kernelmodule/-driver loaded:

But unable to find any LUN:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 03 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: P420i Rev: 6.68 Type: RAID ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: LOGICAL VOLUME Rev: 6.68 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 03 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: P421 Rev: 6.68 Type: RAID ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: LOGICAL VOLUME Rev: 6.68 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: hp Model: DVD A DS8A8SH Rev: KHE4 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Server B looks almost identical, but lists the FC HBAs/LUNs as SCSI devices:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi1 Channel: 03 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: P440ar Rev: 4.52 Type: RAID ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: LOGICAL VOLUME Rev: 4.52 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi7 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: hp Model: DVDRW GUD0N Rev: UM01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: MSA 2040 SAN Rev: G22x Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: MSA 2040 SAN Rev: G22x Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06 Host: scsi9 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: MSA 2040 SAN Rev: G22x Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06 Host: scsi9 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: MSA 2040 SAN Rev: G22x Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06
Somewhat is missing, if you install the HBAs after installation of XS.
I would expect XS to do the needed tasks automatically or at least have some documentation or whatever to do that.
Citrix Case is opened, will see if they can help me - other than reinstalling XS.
Not sure if "upgrading" from 7.0 to 7.0 works and does the trick.
Problem seems to be quite old:
