Guest BobL Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Hello, I have a lab environment in which I have Windows Server 2003 R2 and a Qlogic QLA 210 fibre channel card installed and hooked up to an EMC array. Windows Server 2003 sees the LUNs I have created on the Array and presents a drive to the Operating System which I can read and write files to. I have configured another server with Windows Server 2008 and the same Qlogic QLA 210 fibre channel adapter. Although the LUN assigned to this Window Server 2008 adapter is detected, whenever I try to bring the disk online with Disk Manager it states the 'Drive is not ready' I have configured the interface on the EMC array in the same manner as the connection to the Windows Server 2003 server, but cannot get the disk to come online in Windows Server 2008. What am I missing here? Is there another configuration step in Windows Server 2008? -- BobL

Guest BobL Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 RE: Windows Server 2008 and Fibre Channel Ryan, Nope.
