You will see at least 2 devices for every one drive depending on your san configuration. Multipath tools or mdadm can combine these to make one multipath device. The qlogic driver will do this for you as well. From what I have seen if you want support from the storage company you should connect the way they specify in their docs.

If I set up two luns on the raid system, one is attached to controller A, the second to controller B on the StorageTek D240. With D240-ControllerA, D240-ControllerB and Linux-HBA-port1 connected to one switch, I see 4 LUNs. They get assigned to sdc, sdd, sde, sdf. Only two of these work however.... /dev/sdc1 1 34220 35041264 8e Linux LVM end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 /dev/sde1 1 34220 35041264 8e Linux LVM end_request: I/O error, dev sdf, sector 0 Where sdc and sdd seem to be the same disk, and sde and sdf seem to be the same disk.... It seems that the RDAC driver that Engenio delivers is designed to deal with this problem... Or have I misunderstood something? Is there a better way? Is anyone using an Engenio based storage device without the RDAC drivers?
