Again, the expected entries are missing. At this time, Symantec recommends that
you reload the FC HBA driver, qla2xxx with rmmod qla2xxx and then modprobe
qla2xxx. Reloading the driver may correct your issue. In this example, reloading
the driver corrected the issue because the driver had not been previously loaded.
From the following output you can see the entries, and you can see that the remote
port_name matches the appliance Port WWN):
appsanclient1:~ # modprobe qla2xxx
appsanclient1:~ # ls -la /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/

If you still do not see anything in the /sys/class/fc_remote_ports directory or
you do not see any SCSI devices, then the root cause is most likely a zoning issue.
You may need to contact Technical Support for assistance if you come to this
determination.
