DFA - Zoning performing on an incorrect HBA
Hi everyone
Sorry about my english.
I need help about Direct File Save (DFA).
We using zoning from AIX servers to Data Domain ports/endpoints 8Gbps
Let me explain.
We have one Data Domain physical 6300 and two ports:
Port 6a - WWPN 50:02:18:87:09:a0:22:ad
Port 6b - WWPN 50:02:18:87:09:a1:22:ad
On switch SAN we have Fabric A and Fabric B and performing zoning as below:
Fabric A zoning to Data Domain port 6b
Fabric B zoning to Data Domain port 6a
On the servers AIX, whe add HBA's specific for backups as below:
fsc0 to Storage Disk
fsc1 to Storage Disk
fsc4 to Data Domain - WWPN C0507608CBB60008 - Fabric A
fsc5 to Data Domain - WWPN C0507608CBB6000A - Fabric B
On the Data Domain Access Group we configure as below:
SERVER_FC4 c0:50:76:08:cb:b6:00:08 SERVER_FC4 DD-Boost FC
SERVER_FC5 c0:50:76:08:cb:b6:00:0a SERVER_FC5 DD-Boost FC
and point to each Data Domain correct port (fsc4 Fabric A to port 6b / fsc5 Fabric B to port 6a)
The ddboost drive is installed correctly
SERVER:/home/pneto>lslpp -L all | grep -i lgto*
LGTOnmda.rte 9.2.2.2 C F NetWorker Module for Databases
LGTOnw.clnt.rte 9.2.2.2 C F NetWorker Client
LGTOnw.node.rte 9.2.2.2 C F NetWorker Storage Node
SERVER:/home/pneto>lslpp -L all | grep -i Dddfc
DDdfc.rte 1.0.0.4 C F Device Driver to support
When we run cfgmgr to map DDdfc's it brings 128 devices and all in a single HBA (an HBA that has no zoning for the Data Domain)
Has anyone seen something like that ? I'm trying to see with Dell EMC support but I'm having trouble returning
thanks

Hi.
When we use the ddpconnchk_aix_64, all devices associated with HBA without zoning for Data Domain.
./ddpconnchk_aix_64 -D scan_all
/dev/DDdfc2 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc3 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc4 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc5 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc6 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc7 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc8 parent fscsi0
/dev/DDdfc9 parent fscsi0
dev/DDdfc2:
GSIO_AIX_DO_INQUIRY: ioctl(/dev/DDdfc2) success, not DFC device

/dev/DDdfc3:

/dev/DDdfc4:

/dev/DDdfc8:

/dev/DDdfc9:

Thanks in advance.

We have the same issue, do you find any solution?
