[HPADM] 2nd fibre channel path

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
Adapter (582)
0/0 ba Local PCI
Bus Adapter (782)
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:

0/4 ba Local PCI

0/4/0/0 fc HP Tachyon

0/4/0/0.1 fcp FCP Domain

... there are more

0/5 ba Local PCI

Here comes the 1st added path disks:

And here are secure path devices:

(C)COMPAQ 0x50001FE150019090
255/0.0 target
255/0.0.0 disk HSV110

255/0.0.1 disk HSV110
(C)COMPAQ
255/0.0.2 disk HSV110
(C)COMPAQ
... there are more

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
