MSA 1000

[Conrad Jones]

Hi,

I have a MSA1000 connected to 4 proliant servers 2xDL385 and 2xDL385-G5. via the fibre.

they are running ESX and running windows 2003 server VM's.

We have cycled the power on one of them while doing some rewiring in server cabinets.

Previously the SAN volume(s) were mounted under several directories in the root of filesystem. /cluster /cluster2 and another folder. These folders are still there but appear empty.

In the GUI the computer folder shows the volumes on the SAN device but you cannot go into them as it complains with an error message about shared access to them. This was the case before the power was cycled though.

I'm not a linux person and the long term plan is do away a lot of this as it is over-complicated for the needs of my organization. Although i do fully appreciate it does have its uses in the right application. I inherited this setup.

Is there some magic command to get linux to mount the volumes on the SAN in the correct mount point folders. Or am I totally off track.


I am seeing multipath come up a lot of my searching, is this anything to do with it.?

What version of ESX are you running?
