SAS port swap.

Greetings,

I have a SAS stack (plus other FC ds14s) in a FAS60xx cluster running
7.3.5.1. It has 2 quad port SAS HBAs per filer. The stack currently
uses ports 6a and 7d on each filer.

I need to add a couple more stacks. To make the cabling consistent I
would like to move the current 7d connection to port 7a. When I moved
the cable from 7d to 7a on one of the heads, it never brought the port
online and never saw the disks on that port. I tried the storage
enable adapter 7a but it still showed it was offline. I ran various
sysconfig, storage show, disk show, etc, type commands to get the
system to go find the disks on the new path. Nothing seemed to help.
I waited 5 minutes after doing this just in case there was some type
of discovery lag, but they never showed up. When I plugged back into
7d, everything is fine.

I thought moving to a new port should work. Is there something else
I'm missing to make this work?

Thanks,

Jeff
