I am having a problem with connecting a SAN to a host over a fibre channel.

I already have one machine up and ronning with the Emulex LightPulse LP8000,
RedHat 7.3 and mounting a disk created on the SAN.

This was easy the first time, i just installed the lpfcdd driver following
instructions and when I did "insmod lpfcdd" the discs were
detected as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. When I try this on the new machine it
does not detect any disks but it does leave something in the
logs like:

Jul  1 10:03:09 tvprod kernel: Emulex LightPulse FC SCSI/IP 1.21g
Jul  1 10:03:09 tvprod kernel: PCI: Enabling device 03:04.0 (0116 -> 0117)

Jul  1 10:03:15 tvprod kernel:   Type:   Unknown
ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Jul  1 10:03:17 tvprod kernel: scsi: unknown type 12

It says more stuff like this, I suppose this are the hosts in the fibre
switch, unfortunately, no storage device. I was able, however, to work with
2 SDLT tapes that are in the same fibre channel.

Does anyone else had this kind of trouble?

Thanks for the help.
