[12:08] <citybird> anyone have experience installing nagios?
[02:00] <fernando> moin all
[06:58] <necrite_> hi all
[07:01] <necrite_> anyone here knows how to mount (or see) one SAN partition?
[07:03] <mralphabet> how does the san have it exported?
[07:03] <mralphabet> nfs? iscsi? smb?
[07:04] <necrite_> mhh i hace one "Fibre Channel: QLogic"
[07:04] <necrite_> so i must see it as scsi device
[07:06] <mralphabet> is the san physically connected to the ubuntu box?
[07:06] <necrite_> yes.. with the fiber channel card
[07:10] <necrite_> do i have to install open-iscsi ?
[07:10] <necrite_> package?
[07:16] <mralphabet> if you do a 'cat /proc/partitions' does it show up?
[07:16] <necrite_> only my local devices
[07:17] <necrite_> my lsmod say
[07:17] <necrite_> scsi_mod              174136  4 libata,cciss,qla2xxx,scsi_transport_fc
[07:17] <necrite_> qla2xxx id the module of my fiber chanel card
[07:34] <necrite_> mralphabet, r u there ? :D
[07:34] <necrite_> there is any place to read about it?
[07:36] <mralphabet> necrite_: it's not something I have done myself
[07:37] <mralphabet> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24022.html
[07:37] <mralphabet> that's what I come up with when I google for qla2xxx+ubuntu
[07:38] <mralphabet> not sure if it does you any good
[07:40] <mralphabet> from other pages I am reading, I would have to say fabbione is the one to track down
[07:41] <fabbione> just one minute that i need to finish one email
[07:42] <necrite_> k :)
[07:58] <necrite_> going for more coffe
[07:58] <necrite_> :D
[07:58] <fabbione> re
[07:59] <fabbione> necrite_: 3 things... version of ubuntu? qlogic model?
[07:59] <fabbione> and if you can post dmesg somewhere
[07:59] <necrite_>  2.6.20-16-server
[07:59] <necrite_> ubuntu server 7.04
[08:00] <necrite_>  Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
[08:00] <necrite_> dmsg of ?
[08:00] <fabbione> of the machine booting
[08:00] <fabbione> just run dmesg command and save the output somewhere
[08:01] <fabbione> slam it somewhere i can grab and read it
[08:01] <necrite_> yes.. but dmesg of one sections or all dmesg?
[08:01] <fabbione> all of it
[08:02] <fabbione> i think i have the same exact controller in one of my machines and it works
[08:02] <fabbione> 4Gb PCI-E
[08:02] <fabbione> ISP24** but i can't remember the last 2 digits
[08:02] <necrite_> how can i check it?
[08:03] <fabbione> check what?
[08:03] <necrite_> access to the san 
[08:03] <necrite_> can i send u the file?
[08:03] <necrite_> from here?
[08:03] <fabbione> if you can give me the dmesg i can see what is wrong.. or should be able to 
[08:03] <necrite_> oks 
[08:03] <fabbione> can you send an email?
[08:03] <necrite_> yes
[08:03] <fabbione> fabbione@ubuntu.com 
[08:04] <necrite_> OMG :S
[08:04] <fabbione> mail the all dmesg there
[08:04] <necrite_> ^ ^
[08:07] <necrite_> done
[08:09] <fabbione> [   62.668935]  qla2xxx 0000:13:00.0: LOOP UP detected (4 Gbps).
[08:09] <fabbione> so the controller can see the SAN
[08:09] <fabbione> and it did scan for disks
[08:09] <fabbione> some SAN's require you to export disks to specific hosts.. did you do that?
[08:10] <necrite_> didnt know. the san is managed from other person.. 
[08:10] <fabbione> can you paste me here in private msg the output of lsmod ?
[08:10] <necrite_> but i have to be sure there is no export in the san
[08:11] <fabbione> well the LOOP is up.. it means the controller is talking to at least the SAN switch
[08:11] <fabbione> i assume somebody already tested the SAN on another machine
[08:11] <fabbione> if so, you need to sit with the SAN dude and get him to export something for you and check if the SAN can see your machine
[08:13] <necrite_> oks
[08:13] <necrite_> thanks fabbione 
[08:13] <fabbione> oh hmmm
[08:13] <fabbione> that's weird
[08:13] <fabbione> modprobe sd_mod ?
[08:14] <fabbione> it's missing the sd_mod from that list
[08:14] <fabbione> and that does the scan on the scsi bus
[08:15] <necrite_> did i have to restart the server?
[08:15] <fabbione> no
[08:15] <fabbione> just modprobe sd_mod
[08:15] <necrite_> done
[08:15] <fabbione> wait a few seconds
[08:15] <fabbione> and then check both /proc/partitions and dmesg
[08:16] <fabbione> should be good by now
[08:16] <fabbione> any change?
[08:16] <necrite_> nop
[08:17] <fabbione> ok .. that's the only thing that was not loaded in that kernel
[08:17] <fabbione> next is to check with the SAN guy
[08:17] <fabbione> the OS is ok
[08:17] <necrite_> oks :D
[08:17] <fabbione> and i know 100% that the driver work
[08:17] <necrite_> exelent ..
[08:17] <necrite_> i ll call him
[08:17] <necrite_> :)
[08:18] <necrite_> do i need the open-iscsi package?
[08:18] <fabbione> are you using an iscsi device?
[08:19] <fabbione> i saw you also loaded a gazillion modules for IB..
[08:19] <necrite_> :S dont know. i am a noob with SAN and this staff
[08:19] <fabbione> do you actually have an IB backplane?
[08:19] <fabbione> FC-HBA is scsi_transport_fc
[08:19] <fabbione> you don't need iscsi 
[08:20] <necrite_> IB = blades ?
[08:20] <fabbione> InfiniBand
[08:22] <necrite_> nop .. i dont have IB
[08:22] <fabbione> so you don't need half of the modules you loaded
[08:22] <fabbione> anyway
[08:22] <fabbione> you will figure that out eventually
[08:23] <necrite_> fabbione, where can i read about this
[08:23] <fabbione> SAN or IB?
[08:23] <necrite_> bouth
[08:23] <fabbione> www.google.com ?
[08:24] <necrite_> SAN and linux
[08:24] <fabbione> same as above :)
[08:24] <necrite_> :P
[08:24] <necrite_> k :)
