Using sccli(1M) to Manage a Sun StorEdge 3510 Fiber Channel Array May Cause Sun StorEdge 6910/6960 LUNs to Disappear

---

Impact

Temporary loss of Sun StorEdge 6910/6960 LUNs may occur when using sccli(1M) to manage a Sun StorEdge 3510 Fiber Channel (FC) Array from a host that also has a Sun StorEdge 6910/6960 in the configuration.

Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following platforms:

SPARC Platform

• Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array without patch 113725-01

The described issue only occurs if all of the the following are true:

• sccli(1M) (version 1.2.6 or earlier) is used to manage a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array, and
• sccli(1M) is used on the same data host connected to the Sun StorEdge 6910/6960, and
• A Sun StorEdge 6910/6960 is connected to the same data host as the Sun StorEdge 3510 host, and
• The Sun StorEdge 6910/6960 system is running firmware 8.01 and earlier

To determine the version of "sccli", run the following command:

    # sccli -v
    sccli version 1.2.6

Use the "showsc -v" command to display the firmware version of the system controller.
