Hi All,

When I execute multipath -ll command that time display only 3 path (mpath1,mpath2 and mpath5), not display other 2 path (mpath3 and mpath4). I have configure 5 path in /etc/multipath.conf file. What is the reason behind it. Please help me.

Please find below the output :

Hi Mnmonu,

Can you provide a little more information, what is the platform that you are running on.

Have you run the commands that will create the device tree etc,

Do you have the symcli commands available?

Regards

Dave

Are the LUNs for mpath3 and mpath4 showing up in /dev/ directory? Please post the output of following:
Code:
egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/multipath.conf

Also, please check /var/log/messages for any possible error messages.

Looks fine. Is there any error message for path not being detected in /var/log/messages? Also, please post the output of:
Code:
