multipath configuration problems with Oracle VM

[Parry, Graham]

THanks for your reply .... Supposedly both are zoned... We are using them with an ax4-5 (our only SAN) and the zoning is very simple at the moment we have all ports in the same zone...

After investigating I suspect it boils down to the multipath.conf file... Anybody out there with a copy of the file that I may use as an example...

Also tried to install powerpath , but due to dependency problems no go... It seems powerpath needs the xen-libs rpm... And its not on the oracle vm 2.1.1 cd nor on the oracle enterprise linuz cd's.....And I cannot find it anywhere...

thanks

Have you zoned both HBA's so they can see the target luns?  Each HBA
has a unique WWN and needs to be zoned seperately.
