    Good evening:
    I've just installed a 2nd path to an L2000 database server connected to
    a SAN and I've got a question because I found some "problems" when
    configuring HPUX.

    The server had the 1st path installed some months ago, and is connected
    to an EVA5000 through a Brocade2800 FC switch.
    All components are working OK.

    After I added the 2nd path, and run ioscan on the server (previous
    configuration of SAN zones, and added the host FCA to EVA
    configuration), I only can see the following:

    # ioscan
    H/W Path Class
    Description
    ========================================================================
    =
                            root
    0 ioa System Bus

    0/0/0/0 lan HP PCI
    10/100Base-TX Core
    0/0/1/0 ext_bus SCSI C896
    Fast Wide LVD

    (.... I'll reach the disks...)

    Here comes the 2nd added path disks:

    My question is: Why cannot I see "hsx-like" devices under 0/4/* hardware
    path? (as I find under HW path 0/7/*)

    I think that's why in spmgr's output I only see devices only on td1
    (/dev/td1 adapter), like this one:

      TGT/LUN Device WWLUN_ID H/W_Path
    #_Paths
        0/ 0 c14t0d0 6005-08B4-0001-1C49-0000-D000-03CB-0000
    2
                                                        255/0.0.0
              Controller Path_Instance HBA Preferred?
    Path_Status
              P5849D5AAP302J no
                          c10t0d1 td1 no
    Active

              Controller Path_Instance HBA Preferred?
    Path_Status
              P5849D5AAP3035 no
                          c12t0d1 td1 no
    Standby

    I would like to see a "td0" HBA in spmgr's output.
    Well, I'll appreciate any suggestion very much.

    Thanks in advance!

    Ignacio
