Hi all,
Thanks for the replies. Most people suggested the mpxio_disable flag
in /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf and related files, however I'd already had this
one in three different files in /kernel/drv/. There was also a suggestion
that I might need the Hitachi HDLM toolkit, however it turns out that I
don't.
I found the solution myself about one hour ago, although Alex Madden also got
it right with his mail that came in shortly thereafter.
I installed the SUNWqus and SUNWqusu packages which are for the qlogic card,
although it's not clear if they are actually needed - I later deinstalled
them and everything still works OK after rebooting.
The problem is that although the system saw the disks on the different paths
and LUN's, the Hitachi Storage array is a third party device and therefore
needs additional special handling. In the /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file, I
had to add the following lines:
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"HITACHI DF600F", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
then reboot using "reboot -- -rv". After that, each disk showed up only once,
all be it with horribly long names from Hitachi. The line
"mpxio_disable="no" is still necessary.
This solution will most probably apply to any non Sun storage array.
The disks are now mounted
# mount
8<---
/mnt/disk2 on /dev/dsk/c5t4849544143484920443630303735313930303037d0s0
/mnt/disk1 on /dev/dsk/c5t4849544143484920443630303735313930303036d0s1
and are happily accepting data. They even stay there after a reboot :-)
Many thanks to all!
regards
Markus
