HP-UX with PPath only uses 1 path

I've got an HP-UX machine with PowerPath installed and when we type "powermt show dev=all" we only see 1 active path per LUN.

I was thinking PP license or perhaps wrong registration in Navisphere.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong here ?

I would check that the initiator settings are correct.

On the array ensure you are using "No Auto Trespass"

In the agent.config file comment out the "OptionsSupported AutoTrespass" line.

Fo HP UX 11i v3 you set failover mode to four on a Clariion. While you set fail over mode to 1 for HP UX 11.11.

from powerpath release notes for HP UX power path 5.1 P/N 300-005-167

Note:
¿HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2 only support the PNR failover mode.
¿HP-UX 11i v3 only supports ALUA.

Mode Name Support
0 LUN based trespass Not supported with PowerPath.
1 passive not ready (PNR) Supported with all
2 Dynamic Multipathing(DMP) Not supported with PowerPath.
3 passive always ready (PAR) Supported only with PowerPath for AIX in specific
configurations.
4 asymmetric logical unit
