Dear Micheal,
  Thanks for the solution again, it seems i dont
have any luck. I have patched the kernel with
BLIST_LARGELUN support I have tried all the options
given by u
still success is far away from me. I have made
these changes in the scsi_scan.c
{"IBM", "AuSaV1S2", "*", BLIST_LARGELUN |
BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SPARSELUN},
        {"HITACHI", "OPEN E*4", "*", BLIST_LARGELUN |
BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SPARSELUN},
        {"HITACHI", "OPEN E*18", "*", BLIST_LARGELUN |
BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SPARSELUN},
        {"HITACHI", "OPEN E*8", "*", BLIST_LARGELUN |
BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SPARSELUN},
        {"HITACHI", "OPEN E*36", "*", BLIST_LARGELUN |
BLIST_FORCELUN | BLIST_SPARSELUN},

 I tried all the possible combination of
BLIST_SPARCE, BLIST_FORCE, etc.

  I would like to know whether the LINUX works on SAN
envirnment. I am feeling it has its own limitation
in SAN.
If any one can help to solve my problem it will be a
great help.

To my strange experiance RedHat 6.2 with kernel
2.2-14 without SMP options works fine, withot LUNO
and without luns biengin sequence but we require
multiple cpu option
if RedHat 6.2 works fine i dont know why it is
not implemented in RedHat 7.X. I have tried allthe
possible Redhat vesions
Including the latest RedHat 7.3. To my suprise the
 RedHat does not boot at all if the qlogic driver is
enabled at boot.
and have the same problem of LUN0 and sequence
LUNs. Is really Linux operating sytem is matured
enough to work as high end
server????
 
Pl can any body help???
