Disk Presentation Problem

Hello San Guru's

I have a small problem that i cant figure out.

I have an EVA environment and i have created a new host on it and assigned it a 300GB Vdisk. As far as i can see all looks very similar to every other setup on the EVA.

The problem is that after zoning the c class blade the disk appears as 2 logical drives and not 1 ???

I did have redundancy built into this model but then there appeared to be 4 drives ?? can someone help.

Regards Marcus.

Hi Marcus,

It sounds like you need to install some multipathing software on your OS.

Go to http://www.hp.com/go/support and search for downloads for MPIO. Hopefully that should sort you out.

If not, let us know what operating system you're using...

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Disk Presentation Problem

Like Rob said you need MPIO software

Be carefull the MPIO version depends on

* your OS
* XCS/VCS version of your eva
