Multipathing progress…

This is looking better. Note in the previous post, the scsi_vhci.conf entry conforms to the scsi_inquiry format: that is, eight characters are used for the vendor ID (NEXSAN followed by two spaces), with the product ID appended.

Now the scsi devices appear under /devices/scsi_vhci. However, cfgadm still only shows the first path (ie, the first controller) as configured for each SATABeast; “cfgadm -c configure c4″ still fails.

Now the original devices (for each path) no longer show up under /devices/pci@0,0/pci10de,5d@d/pci1077,137@0/fp@0,0; and mpathadm gives:

# mpathadm show lu /dev/rdsk/c5t6000402001FC19CA6E9E7EB400000000d0p0
Logical Unit:  /dev/rdsk/c5t6000402001FC19CA6E9E7EB400000000d0s2

So, not quite there yet.
