[Orca-users] Problem with orcallator.se in SAN and/or T3-environments

[Schopp, Burkhard]

Hi all,

i am using orca since about 20 Months now and it works great.
Thanks to Blair for the work he has put into it.

Actually i encouter problems with orcallator.se on systems 
connected to a Storedge T3: Orcallator is running without any
error messages, but it writes every interval a new outputfile.
I checked the outputfiles and found the following: Orcallator 
adds during each interval all T3-disks to the existing disks
from the previous interval, so it seems, that orcallator re-
cognizes the T3-disks ervery interval as new disks. 
But the devicenames on the system and in the outputfiles are 
always the same...
See below for an example output from 'format' and the disknames
cut out of the outputfiles.

Also orca generates no graphs for the T3-disks.

Anybody got an idea on how to solve this problem? Alternatively
is there a way to tell orcallator to monitor only given disks?

Environment: Orca 0.27 with orcallator.se_1.37 and RICHPse_3.3

Thanks in advance and keep an eye on your systems with orca ;-)
