Problem configuring a Clariion disk on a windows host.
Hi All,
We recently added a new windows host to our SAN (zoned to a CX3 array - 4 paths). Binded a 100g lun and added it to the storage group of the host. But when we try to configure disk on the host, the same disk showed up 4 times.
We have the latest version of the powerpath installed on the server. But under powerpath administration, nothing is showing up, not even HBA adapters.
Went into SAN Surfer HBA s/w and checked the disk status, we can see the same disk twice under each HBA port.
Could anyone let me know what might causing the issue and what needs to be done to isolate the problem.

Honestly, I wish Windows was a more stable predictable environment, but it certainly does have it's advantages as well. (Like the fact I've used it most of my professional life and understand it inside out).

it down and leave it there, right dynamox? *lol*
hehe ..indeed, step away from the server
i really like windows, especially from disk management perspective, it's simple and it works.
