The command "hwmgr show scsi" displays the number of paths for all the disks.Could you please let me know is there any command or any other way to change the number of paths for disks.

Please provide your inputs on this..


Thanks in Advance,

Hi Shammer,

You could change the number of paths by altering the zoning on your SAN so that the host could only see certain ports on the storage device.

Why would you want to do this though ?

Cheers,

Rob

hi Shammer,
i am agree with Rob.
if you don't want to see tha all paths from all nodes, you may configure zoning from switch.Thus you can elegate the others.
But why would you want to change the paths?

mustafa
