Blade Center & MultiPathing in Windows 2003
I am trying to set up a blade system with multipathing. The OS is Windows 2003 R2 Service Pack 2. I have 150GB slice of disk for this SAN connection. The Windows system does see the SAN Shares. But the multipathing is not working. Instead of seeing 1 path. I see 4 paths.
It is a BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure with a ProLiant BL460c G1. I have a QLogic QMH2462 4Gb FC HBA in the blade system. The drives on the blade are showing up as not being initialized. Should I initialize them and then they would be seen as one?
Thanks in advance...

Re: Blade Center & MultiPathing in Windows 2003
2. Verify with SUN what the correct QLA2462 driver & firmware should be for W2003 Sp2
3. Once you verify the blade can see one LUN on the SAN, install the SUN-recommended multipathing software.
You say "instead of seeing 1 path..." so do you have just one path to the SAN? If so do you see just one path when no multipathing SW is installed under Windows?

Re: Blade Center & MultiPathing in Windows 2003
So just install the SUN MPIO package and uninstall the HP one.

I want to verify that he can see (or did see) 1 path when only one path is presented. With no multipathing software.
