Volume's Owning Controller automatically changes.

Hi,
Our Setup is as follows.
- 1 SunfireV440 and 2 SunfireV490(Running on Veritas Cluster)
- 2 StorageTek 6140 (1GB Controller, Total 4 HostChannels)
- 2 Brocade SAN switches.
All the 4 host channels of both the 6140 is connected to the SAN switch as a redundancy configuration.
The Volumes are Identical on Both the Storages. Mirroring is done across the storage via Veritas. Multipathing is also done through Veritas.
Volumes are mapped using Licensed Storage Domains.
Issue:
Out of the 38 Volumes, we face issues on 4 particular volumes. The issue is these Volumes's Owining Controller has got changed automatically and the CAM is showing the Boxes as Degraded and generates Alarm.
All the 4 volume's preffered controller is A and owning controller is B.
There is no harware errors, Controllers, Cables, Switch and HBA are working fine. Except the 4 volumes rest of the volumes are all Owned by their Preffered Controllers.
All the even LUNs are give to Ctrl. B and odd LUNs to Ctrl. A
We tried re-distributing the volumes which resolved the issue, but the Owning Controller got changed again after 2 days.
What might be causing the volume to move from its preffered controller as there was no physical errors.
Is this some kind of loadbalancing on the controllers?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Hari.

If you're using MPxIO (aka STMS) you should check /var/adm/messages which should contain any failover messages - if both servers say that the cause of the failover is external, you need to check the switches and all the paths in between the hosts and storage (all the fibres / SFPs / patch panels etc)

  • [6140] Failover does not change owning controller

    Hello!
    We connected our 6140 to one host with two HBAs. Each HBA is connected to one of both controllers. I can see the volumes and create a filesystem there. When I pull out one cable, I get this message:
    qla2x00: FAILBACK device 0 -> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LUN 00
    qla2x00: FROM HBA 1 to HBA 0This seems OK on the client side, but now I am unable to mount the volumes any more. But when I change the owning controller in the Web interface of the 6140, mounting works. I thought this should be done automatically? What do I have to change?
    TIA

    I have experienced this problem with Apple XServ servers and there HBA's , for some reason even though the card is dual ported you are unable to use both ports on the two controllers.

  • ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming?  I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

    I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

    I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
    Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

  • When I downloaded iOS 7 my iTunes album art automatically changed for me. Loved it. When I downloaded iOS 8 update it went back to the original artwork. How do I get it back like iOS 7??

    Okay, I'm going to try and make as much sense as I possibly can without confusing people. I hope someone can help! So when I downloaded the iOS 7 update one 'major' change I noticed was that my album art in iTunes had automatically changed for me. It was really cool, more up-to-date, and overall enjoyed how it looked. Made it look a lot neater than my own album art I had put on there. Now, when I downloaded the new iOS 8 update I notice that all my album art when back to its original picture which I had put on there. How do I get it back to where it was when I downloaded the iOS 7 Update?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know this isn't the most "dying for help" question, but I'm curious anyways to why it has changed. Thanks!

  • Will changing iCloud ID automatically change in my phone?

    I changed my iTurnes/iCloud ID, but when I look in my settings on my phone, it's still showing my old ID, and it's grayed out and won't allow me to change it there.  Will it change on it's own eventually?  If not, how do I reset this?
    Thank you.

    It won't automatically changed.  To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
    Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
    The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

    how can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my website's home screen

    You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
    A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
    The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
    The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

    Hi Friend,
    Check the assignment of Sales group to the sales office in the ENTERPRISE STRCTRE--->ASSIGNMENT
    Path: IMG->ENTERPRISE STRUCTRE->ASSIGNMENT->SALES ORGANISATION->ASSIGN SALES GROUP TO SALES OFFICE.Make sure the same sales office was entered during the sales order creation also.
    May be the issue with having dual sales office and sales group creation.
    Please revert if further clarification is needed.

  • Icloud calendar colors automatically changing

    On iOS 6 and 7 my icloud shared calendars are automatically changing as if they are on a rainbow timer. When I set it back to a different color, a few minutes later it just goes back and changes again. I really thought iOS7 would solve this. Any suggestions?

    Mine is doing the same thing. I though there would be one place where I could change it and it would push out to the others, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My primary calendar was Orange for the longest time, but now it keeps turning Purple.
    Here's where I've tried to change it:
    icloud.com via Safari 6 on OS X Lion
    iCal on OS X Lion
    Calendar App on iOS 7
    Sunrise Calendar on iOS 7
    On each one of these, I am able to change the color back to Orange, but within a minute or less, it is back to Purple. The only exception is iCal on Lion. It retains my color change even through calendar refreshes, but when the app is quit and relaunched, the changes have not persisted and the Orange calendar is now Purple again.

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

  • Is there a way to automatically change tabs with different times set for each tab?

    I found a few add-ons that will automatically change tabs based on a configurable time. But all the tabs use the same time setting. What I need is the ability to have tabs displayed for different amounts of time. Ex, Tab 1 for 30 seconds, Tab 2 for 10 seconds, Tab 3 and 4 for 5 seconds. Ideally, I will have the ability to modify these settings as the amount of tabs and the content will change a couple times a week.
    Currently I'm using Tab Slideshow with each tab displayed for 15 seconds. But it sounds like Tab Rotate and Auto Toggle Tabs essentially do the same. If there is already a solution that would be great but if not is there someone available for hire to help modify one of the existing add-ons? Thank you in advance for your time.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to tell if the DAC port is automatically changed or not

    Introduction
    Per Books Online:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189595.aspx
    SQL Server listens for the DAC on TCP port 1434 if available or a TCP port dynamically assigned upon Database Engine startup.
    Also, we can go to the following registry to specify the DAC port number manually:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    The error log contains the port number the DAC is listening on. Besides looking at the error log, how to find which port is used by DAC connection and how to tell if the DAC port is manually set by us or assigned automatically by SQL Server?
    Solution
    The following query can be used to check if there is an existing DAC connection and it also give us the port number used by dedicated admin connection.
    SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec
    join sys.endpoints e
    on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id)
    WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
    Here is the scenario to test if the DAC port is automatically changed or not.
    There are two instances are running on one server. I specified the same DAC port number 5555 for the two SQL Server instances by modifying the registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
    Opened the DAC connection to instance 1. Executed the above query, it returns the result:
    name                                                  
    local_tcp_port
    Dedicated Admin Connection               5555
    Then, opened a DAC connection to instance 2. It throw out the following error message:
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection because an error was encountered during handshakes before login.
    Common causes include client attempting to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server, server too busy to accept new connections or a resource limitation (memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine..
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection.
    Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection due to prelogin failure.
    The above error message was thrown out because the DAC port number 5555 was not available for instance 2 which was occupying by instance 1. After restarting the SQL Server engine service of instance 2, if checking in the registry, you would see a new DAC port
    number has been assigned to the second instance.
    Then, the DAC connection to instance 2 succeed this time and executed the above query, it returned the same port number which is same as the one in the registry key and the port number was assigned automatically.
    DAC port will not change even SQL Server service is restarted only if the TCP port is available.

    Because asset need to depreciate upto 70% of its net book value on the basis of SLM percentage base as per phase 1.
    After that it must shift to phase 2 ,where depend upon remaining useful of that asset , balance value of asset need to be spread over.
    But while testing in, it is not automatically shifted to phase 2 directly once asset reaches its 70% (ie.once condition given phase one get exhausted)
    Then pls guide me what to do for automatically change over of PHASE from 1 to 2 ??
    Thanks and regards
    Manjusha  G.

    Hi Manjusha,
    To meet your requirement, you have to mention changeover in T code AFAMA-changeover method "2" and the changeover % 70 and in second line you can give phase 2 changeover within planned life and give your depreciation methods after changeover.
    Refer the sample screenshot.
    Hope it solves..
