Re: EMC CX LUN problem

[Nicola Murino <n.murino@theorematica.it>]

If I attach the a server directly to the storage I have this:

multipath -l
mail (36006016086f01600e46f567adb8cda11)
[size=150 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="1 emc"]
\_ round-robin 0 [active]
 \_ 2:0:0:2 sdg 8:96 [active][ready]
 \_ 2:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready]
 \_ 2:0:0:1 sdf 8:80 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled]
 \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready]
 \_ 1:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 [active][ready]
 \_ 1:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]

all the tree defined LUN are grouped in the same path :-(,

maybe is a bug in qlogic driver (linux see an isp 2432 but it is a 2462) 
or in scsi_id what do you think about?
