Hello,
I am having a problem on 11.31 with new assigned SAN disks. Due to the fact that wwids are not mapped to the dsfs, the lun is seen double:
</tmp> inq -f_emc -sid -showvol -nodots | grep disk | grep -i 06c3
/dev/rdisk/disk375 :EMC :SYMMETRIX :5772 :64006c3000 : 006C3: 107520000 :000290103264
/dev/rdisk/disk396 :EMC :SYMMETRIX :5772 :64006c3000 : 006C3: 107520000 :000290103264
</tmp> ioscan -m dsf /dev/rdisk/disk375
Persistent DSF Legacy DSF(s)
========================================
/dev/rdisk/disk375 /dev/rdsk/c24t4d7
</tmp> ioscan -m dsf /dev/rdisk/disk396
Persistent DSF Legacy DSF(s)
========================================
/dev/rdisk/disk396 /dev/rdsk/c22t4d7
It's one lun (06C3) but seen twice. This would have been normal for the legacy dsfs, but not for the persistent one which should have been only 1.
</tmp> ioscan -P health /dev/rdisk/disk375

There is no NO_HW disk on the system and there are luns which are being displayed ok. On the storage side things seem to be ok. Before being zoned to this system, they were zoned to another one (also 11.31) where they were working ok.
Here is a lun that does not have problems:

What should I do in order to be able to link the wwid to the dsf and have the native multipath working ok?
Thank you

SolutionI've seen this on Symmetrix before where you don't have the correct settings on the EMC array for HP-UX11iv3 - the settings are not the same as for 11iv1/11iv2. Can't remember what they are, but you should check with your EMC support folks.

Re: Persistent DSFs do not bind to a wwid
Thanks Duncan,
it turned out to be so. The issue was on the storage box. Many thanks
