EQL MEM kit - Active Paths reduced from 4 to 2 after installing Dell MEM kit
Hello,
We currently have 1 EQL group which has 1 EQL PS6100XS member. The PS6100XS member currently has 3 datastores. Running ESXi 6.0 u2 and MEM kit 1.3.0.410095 (dell-eql-mem-esx6-1.3.0.410095). The ESXi Host has 4 NICs dedicated to EQL iSCSI. All networking is confirmed to be setup correctly with proper ESXi iSCSI Port Binding.
Prior to installing the Dell MEM kit on the ESXi Host, the active paths to the EQL vSphere datastore shows 4 paths. After installing the Dell MEM kit, it properly sets the pathing to DELL_PSP_ROUTED but reduces the paths to 2 for each datastore:
Note: there isn't a high volume of traffic yet on the datastores since this is a relatively new environment.
Any thoughts as to why there are only 2 active paths showing and not 4?
-Saud
