Shalom,

The best fiber utils for this OS for HP servers ship with PSP. hp_rescan and such.

You need to provide more information to get more specific help. Clearly the fiber ttils you chose did not match your OS/kernel combinatoin.

Not sure what fibreutils will provide you, but your seeing 4 LUNS because there are 4 paths into the EVA. You need to use some type of multipathing software to to properly group the LUNS. I don't mess with the Emulex cards much so I can't offer any more than that. If it was a QLogic card, you could use the multipathing built into the QLogic driver.
