Storage - Dual path connectivity.

sudhapage — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:37:16 GMT

Hi,

I have ProLiant BL465c G1 server which is running with SAN Boot disk. Want to confirm whether dual path connectivity is configured for SAN or not..

Below I have pasted the few commands output, please refer the same and confirm whether dual path connectivity is configured or not.
