    as has been stated before as an FYI:

    you can not run SDD and RDAC drivers over the same set of HBAs

      Thanks. Did not know that since have ESS. We will be connecting to a
    FastT shortly at our DR site so this is nice to know.

      ds4x00 uses RDAC. you will not see multiple paths, as RDAC is an
    active/passive failover driver. you can see that it is functioning properly
    with
      fget_config -a

        You might want to look here:
        http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/allproducts/installing.html
        Especially for SDD or MPIO discussions.  Each path to the LUN will be
    represented as a hdisk.  You will need something like SDD to see a VPATH
    that represents the single physical lun represented by the logical paths.

        Hi Admins:
        I have the following case:
        I have one P520 with AIX V5.3, it has 2 HBA connected to 2 controller
    (controller A & controller B) of the DS4100, the problem is that each LUN on
    the DS4100 appear as 2 physical volume (ex. Hdisk2 & hdisk3) instead of one.
        Any advice will be appreciate.
        Thanks & Regards
