Can some explain me why i am getting UNKNOWN

Pseudo name=emcpowerd
Symmetrix ID=000xxxxxxxx

Logical device ID=0A3B
state=alive; policy=SymmOpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=1;
==============================================================================
--------------- Host ---------------   - Stor -   -- I/O Path --  -- Stats ---
###  HW Path               I/O Paths    Interf.   Mode    State   Q-IOs Errors
==============================================================================
   7 UNKNOWN                  unknown   FA  7eA   active  alive       0      0
   7 UNKNOWN                  unknown   FA  8eA   active  alive       1      0
   8 UNKNOWN                  unknown   FA 10eA   active  alive       0      0
   8 UNKNOWN                  unknown   FA  9eA   active  alive       0      0

This is a VMAX device mounted on a RHEL host.

Any ideas as to why this is happening. The device is working perfectly. It is in production....

How can I rectify this issue and make powerpath show me the paths.

powermt config does not do it ? I have a seen that on a couple of my RHEL 6 boxes. During regular monthly patching window they would get rebooted and that paths would show up correctly.

You might try Powerpath does not see HW path and I/O path    It seems to be very similar system to yours.

sol 1:

can you please try with following command

powermt dev=so

powermt config

powermt display dev=all

powermt save

sol 2:

same thing happens with other paths or only on this path(0A3B).if same thing not happens with other path please create a new  meta device and assign on the same FA port and check now ,is it same .if no please take backup from volume 0A3B and restore on new vol.

Sol 3:

if it doesn't work please check power path version and os version and patch.check with power path comparability matrix from powerlink.if possible Please schedule a reboot for this host but b4 take backup .
