hmmm, suddenly there's a lot more posts than before.

But the question remains: are you happy with the result or do you need more help?

Am not sure what is the expectation, but presently as 'powermt display options' shows that powerpath will not manage Clariion or Symmetrix devices.

In case if you like powerpath to manage Clariion or symmetrix devices, ensure MPxIO is disabled and run powerpath command to manage clariion array

In case if you want MPxIO to control the device, then I believe Selva has already provided you the list of commands.

=============

In case if you want powerpath to manage your clariion devices then -

set mpxio-disable value to yes in BOTH fp.conf and iscsi.conf

Run

powermt manage class=clariion

While running the manage command, ensure no IO are flowing via the devices.

No Events found!
