Subject: [suse-sles-e] SLES9: how to recognize SCSI LUNs >= 8?

Hi all,

does anybody know how i can make the SLES9 to recognize SCSI LUNs >= 8?

I have set up a SLES9 (for IA64 architecture) on a DELL 1850 hardware,
which has to be connected to a HP EVA3000 SAN via two Qlogic HBAs ql2342.

The shipped drivers for the Qlogic HBAs work fine, I'm just not able
to recognize virtual disks presented with LUNs >= 8, which I think is
due to the module scsi_mod.

I tried the parameters "max_luns=128" and "max_reported_luns=128" for
module "scsi_mod" both in /etc/modprobe.conf.local and in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, but still only LUNs < 8 are recognized by the driver.

The qla2*-Modules don't seem to have any options regarding # of LUNs.

The HBA's BIOS is configured to see 128 LUNs.

It is a fresh installation with all the latest updates from Suse as of
20.1.2005.

/proc/cmdline contains:

root=/dev/sda6 max_luns=128 max_report_luns=128 vga=0x317 selinux=0
console=tty0 resume=/dev/sda2 elevator=cfq splash=silent
