P2000 G3 iSCSI & vSphere ESX multipath

[Fatih Celebi]

Hi all.. I forgot to update this thread, sorry.

I think I solved it. Not in a way I thought of but it solved it anyway. Now I have 8 active paths for every lun with 4 active i/o paths ( to the controller owning the lun of course ).

The thing I had to do was actually to put every (8) iSCSI target address on the dynamic discovery tab on the iSCSI adapter.
Even though every 8 iSCSI targets was discovered and showed up in the static discovery tab it helped to put every target manually in the dynamic tab..

interesting -- how about the SAS edition, is multipath supported there?

log on into esxi host (or use vMA) and add a new satp rule:

esxcli nmp satp addrule -satp="VMW_SATP_ALUA" -vendor="HP" -model="P2000" -description="HP P2000 with ALUA support" -claim-option tpgs_on

add a default RR PSP policy:

esxcli nmp satp setdefaultpsp -psp VMW_PSP_RR -satp VMW_SATP_ALUA

check that all it's fine:

esxcli nmp satp list

---

Neither of those commands seem to work in CLI for ESXI 5.5

I get the error "Error: Unknown command or namespace nmp satp setdefaultpsp"
