LUN Multipath
I have a quick question. From EVA8100 all the LUNs except one (Disk 7 - 2.0.3.31) shows 8 paths to one vDisk on all the presented hosts. As for as configuration is concern, all the vDisks are configured exact same way.

Re: LUN Multipath
I was kind of wondering if 8 paths to every dis k is not inefficient and possibly will fragment the bandwidth between the HBA cards and the desk.
Since the EVA only has two controllers, 2 paths to every disk is usually sufficient.

Re: LUN Multipath
On each EVA controller, we have 4 ports which are connected on fiber switch and thats how host see each vdisk with 8 paths.

Re: LUN Multipath
You are completely sure that disk 7 is configured the same are you? You've actually checked the presentations thru command view?
Note that disk 7 sees 4 of its 8 paths suggesting that its not configured to be seen out of one controller, or has been presented to the wrong host.
Ho back and check Command View again.
(and SEP... 8 paths are usual for EVA8000 - nothing to worry about there).

Re: LUN Multipath
# insf -e
and then check the disks path again.
Back to original question, multiple paths are okey, they will all be taken care of by multipathing software.
