    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all, I'm an ESX newbie so please forgive any dumb questions/terms....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had an esx 3.0.1 host blue screen on me last week after a sudden power outage and I couldn't recover it. So I upgraded it to 3.0.2 which went well, rebooted, checked all the vlans and config was still there, all fine, except....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;now there are no LUNS showing in Storage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A pair of hba's are still available in Storage adaptors (QLA2432's) - both come back on rescan so I believe they're up and functioning.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, each of them shows in the details screen show "Targets: 0"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The hba's connect through a fibre switch into a san and that's all working correctly as the other ESX hosts can still see the storage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried re-adding storage by lun name/wildcard match etc but nothing is seen, presumably as the hba's are not seeing the SAN at all.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't believe it's a driver issue as I've checked another 3.0.2 host with the same hba's and they're both using same drivers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Only other clue I have is that all 3 lights on back of hba's are blinking (1,2,4) - 1 is blinking red, 2 and 4 are blinking green.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No other obvious errors at boot of the esx host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any suggestions as to where to start?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Andy&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;A bit more on this one... the hba's are actually qle2460 (misreported by esx). I've upgraded the firmware but still not seeing the LUNS. It looks like I may need a driver upgrade - am currently running qla2300_707 drivers but reading through compatibility lists it appears it may need the qla2x00_707 driver instead.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can't find that driver to download anywhere - can anyone help?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Andy&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
