hdisk8 (Avail pv ) 600A0B800019B057000010A3572E3AC5 = path0 (Enabled)
hdisk9 (Avail ) 600A0B800019B057000010A3572E3AC5 = path0 (Enabled)

Both hdisk8 and hdisk9 are same disks but one says IBM MPIO DS4300 and the other IBM MPIO DS4500 apart from showing it double.

So to make it simple:

Direct Connection (removed the san switch)
HBA 1 -- Port 1 -- To Controller A (SAN Storage )
HBA 2 -- Port 1 -- To Controller B (SAN Storage )

Code:

# lsdev -Cc disk

hdisk8 Available 0A-08-02     IBM MPIO DS4300 Array Disk
hdisk9 Available 0B-08-02     IBM MPIO DS4500 Array Disk

again seeing two disks

any solution / suggestion ?
