Issue with EMC SAN LUN Multipath

Hi all,

We are adding new ECM SYMMETRIX LUN our Solaris 9 server. According to
SAN team LUN's zoned and masked for this host with two paths.

We updated lpfc.conf and sd.conf rebooted the server. We are able to
see this LUNs in format. If we make the label change on one path we
are able to view it on other path.

The problem is its giving different serial number on each path. Since
serial number is different Veritas thinks its two different disks. We
check with Storage engineers, they said configuration looks good on
their side. We don't have access to SAN configuration. We can run
SYMCLI commands from host.

I would like to know why we are getting different serial number for
same disk. Where the configuration mismatches server side or host
side?. Can we use SYMCLI command to check SAN configuration? If
problem with SAN side, what information I need ask SAN engineers to
check?

Any troubleshooting tips will help.

Here some more information.

First path:
=======

HBA: ....3f1
Sym Dev LUN
Name Dir:P Physical Device Name VBUS TID SYMM HOST Attr Cap(MB)
------ ----- ----------------------- ---- --- ---- ---- ---- -------
0721 14B:1 /dev/vx/rdmp/c43t18d27s2 0 0 1b 1b 30468

Second path:
=========

HBA: ....64d2

Name Dir:P Physical Device Name VBUS TID SYMM HOST Attr Cap(MB)
------ ----- ----------------------- ---- --- ---- ---- ---- -------
0721 3B:1 /dev/vx/rdmp/c35t18d27s2 0 0 1b 1b 30468
