15 Troubleshooting HPE 3PARInfo and HPE 3PARInfo Remote Deployment tool Cause This chapter describes how to troubleshoot and solve common problems that might occur while using HPE 3PARInfo and HPE 3PARInfo Remote Deployment tool. Unable to view a specific device file If you are unable to view a specific device file after running the HPE3PARInfo -i command, perform the following to search for the device: On Linux run fdisk l <device_file_name> On HP-UX run ioscan m dsf <persistent_device_file_name> On AIX run cfgmgr On Windows Re-scan disks under Disk Management. The following is an example scenario on Linux: HPE 3PARInfo does not report a newly exposed LUN; name of the device file is/dev/sdar. Run the fdisk command to search for the device: fdisk -l /dev/sdar If there is no output for this command, the device file is not recognized. Perform a SCSI bus re-scan, so that the environment recognizes the device file. After re-scanning is complete, run the fdisk -l /dev/sdar command again. An output similar to the following is displayed: Disk /dev/sdar: 2147 MB, bytes 67 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1009 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 = bytes Run HPE 3PARInfo to display the specific device file. Invalid values displayed for LUNs that are removed from the host The values that are displayed for VVs that are removed from the host are invalid, even after re-scanning the devices are invalid. NOTE: This error is noticed only in Linux. When you remove a LUN from the HPE 3PAR Management Console and run HPE3PARInfo on the command-line interface, the following output might be displayed: Device File Name Size [MB] Tgt Lun LUN WWN VV Name Code Rev Serial# ================================================================================ /dev/sdbj MU /dev/sdbk ac f8 HPE3PARINFO_Demo_LUN_SET MU /dev/sdbl ac f8 HPE3PARINFO_Demo_LUN_SET MU Troubleshooting HPE 3PARInfo and HPE 3PARInfo Remote Deployment tool 15

16 This means that the Linux OS does not recognize the deleted LUNs. In this example, the deleted device sdbj is not recognized. Run the following command on RHEL to detect deleted LUNs: echo 1 > /sys/block/<device-name>/device/delete For example: echo 1 > /sys/block/sdbj/device/delete Run HPE3PARInfo again to get the correct output. [root@paxppr2 HPE3PARInfo-linux-32]# HPE3PARInfo -i Device File Name Size [MB] Tgt Lun LUN WWN VV Name Code Rev Serial# ================================================================================ /dev/sdbk ac f8 HPE3PARINFO_Demo_LUN_SET MU /dev/sdbl ac f8 HPE3PARINFO_Demo_LUN_SET MU In this sample output, the deleted device sdbj is not shown. Cannot execute binary file This means that you have installed HP-UX binary in the Linux environment. NOTE: In general, for any other issues you might face, check the HPE3PARInfo.log file. Look for the word Error, and check for the lines around the word Error for clues about operation failure. The following is a sample extract from the log file: [30/08/ :58:33]:Thread Id[0] opendevicefile() in linux/src/ LinuxScsiCollector.cpp at line# 42 Entry [30/08/ :58:33]:Thread Id[0] opendevicefile() in linux/src/linuxscsicollector.cpp at line# 60 Error in open() Device or resource busy [30/08/ :58:33]:Thread Id[0] opendevicefile() in linux/src/linuxscsicollector.cpp at line# 73 Exit with file descriptor value as -1 [30/08/ :58:33]:Thread Id[0] FetchData() in common/src/delegate.cpp at line# 246 Failed to open the device file #/dev/sda# :( In this sample extract, you can see that the device /dev/sda was busy and the operation failed for this reason. If you face an error similar to this, run the operation after sometime. Unable to install HP3PARInfo on the remote host If you are unable to install HP3PARInfo on the remote host, perform the following steps: Check the CLI /GUI logs for the errors occurred. Go to the package folder location that is,c:\program Files (x86)\hpe\hpe 3PARInfo Deployment Tool\packages Select the package for installation, for example, if HP3PARInfo has to be deployed to an RHEL x86 machine, the corresponding HPE3PARINFO_Linux_x86.rpm package must be present in the packages folder. 16 Cannot execute binary file
