I have problem with discovering my FC-connected CX-300 storage. Frankly speaking I'm complete novice in FibreChannel, so step by step explanation would be appreciated. My configuration consist of two IBM HS20 blades with RHEL5.4 on board and 2x Qlogic ISP2422-based 4Gb Fibre Channel HBAs on each blade. As a FC switch there are two Brocades built in BladeCenter Chassis, and finally there is EMC Clariion CX-300.

CX300, and Brocade switches should be configured properly, because they were working fine with previous configuration, which main defference was RHEL3 instead RHEL5.4

Below there is my output from several usefull commands:

#lspci | grep Fibre
06:01.0 FibreChannle: Qlogic Corp. ISP2422-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI-X HBA (rev 02)
06:01.1 FibreChannle: Qlogic Corp. ISP2422-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI-X HBA (rev 02)


#lsmod | grep qla
qla2xxx             1084741 0

#cat /proc/scsi/scsi

I'd followed instructions from this site (editing /etc/multipath.conf), but i failed after multipath -ll - the output was empty.

Do you have any suggestions about discovering FC Connected LUNs in such configuration?
