I do have options on the Xyratex to combine the two controllers into one number but that's the loop ID. Not sure I've seen anything for LUN control yet. > Even without failover, the latest Qlogic drivers will make both paths active > so that you never end up with a dead path upon boot up. Path's seem fine, I mean, the storage does show up. It's just that my initial device has moved to another /dev/sdx number. In another message, am I to understand that once the physical device is set up and running as a GFS volume, that LVM2 will always see it no matter if the /dev number changes? I'll also have to look into your suggestions. Thank you very much. Mike -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
