Yes, This is a known issue when you replace HBAs or add new ones. You can register them manually. Highlight the initiator then click Register from the window above. If you know these HBAs are part of an existing server then choose it from there and click Apply.

Hope that helps

Since the initiators are not registered then it is safe to de-register them (They might be stale entries). Refresh your initiators if they re-appear again then i would recommend you to check the zoning from switch side. Please check initiators zoned with A-1 and B-1 ports. also check port logins to your switch for the above WWPN.

Hope that helps

I have a clue now.

Alert:

"Server (50:06:01:60:C7:20:12:DE:50:06:01:61:47:20:12:DE) has some HBAs that are active (logged in) but not registered with the storage system"

"Server (50:06:01:60:C7:20:12:DE:50:06:01:69:47:20:12:DE) has some HBAs that are active (logged in) but not registered with the storage system"

In alert "50:06:01:60:C7:20:12:DE" refers storage unique Id (WWN).

50:06:01:61:47:20:12:DE and 50:06:01:69:47:20:12:DE - Mirrorview Ports.

But, Mirrorview/A replication configured through iSCSI. How FC front end ports shows as mirrorview ports here?

since those initiators are unregistered i am unable to de-register it. (tried in engineering mode). de-register is greyed out.

We need Engineering mode to de-register logged on and registered  Initiators so it is not needed in your case. I believe you are pointing to the wrong initiators. Are your referring to these ones?

Mohammed Salem  @yankoora

i am pointing the same.

check your zoning, you either have zones with multiple SP ports in the same zone ( a no no if you have SANCopy/MirrorView installed on the array) or you are zoned to another VNX/Clariion. Either way verify your zoning, if that checks out ok, restart management service on each SP.

what's there to deregister, look at the screenshot, those initiators are not registered.

There could be two scenario's

1. You have zoned the HBA with array port, but not registered, either manually or with Naviagent on the client server.
2. When the array is installed with Mirroview license with FC IO modules, the higher port number will automatically configured as Mirrorview port. Those will stay as mirror view port even if you add extra FC IO modules

You can de-register the wwpn of the client server / other storage array ports which are zoned with your CX4-120. Your administrator account is enough for de-registration. To de-registered they server wwpn, please click on the plus sign and chose the below entry, then click de-register
