VMHBA "Unknown"

Marmotte94 Jul 9, 2019 7:18 AM

Hi guys,

I have a problem with a FC card. One vmhba is offline and configured as LPORT. But in Qlogic Bios Utility all vmhba are configured in "point to point".

I didn't find anything else on the ESXi configuration about this issue. Someone have an idea ?

This card is a DualPort on HP Blade. The vmhba2 works fine but not vmhba1

# esxcli storage san fc list

Adapter : vmhba1

DriverName : qlnativefc

....

PortState : LINK DOWN

PortType : LPORT

Adapter : vmhba2

DriverName : qlnativefc

....

PortState : ONLINE

PortType : NPORT

Thank you,

Did you tried to swap the cable between the vmhba1 and vmhba2 to see if the problem still happen on vmhba1 or if it moves to vmhba2? Also, the FC port type on physical switch are configured with the same settings? Are you using Brocade switches?

Hi,
I can't change port type on the switch but I see "Loop" as type port. And yes, it's a HP switch Brocade.

Thank you,
regards,
