Hello Arturo,
indeed Conga doesn't seem to summarize all the /dev/sd devices to
their belonging mpath one.
A potential side effect of this being if you have an important number
of /dev/sd devices conga will timeout without showing you any result.
Well, finally i got to expose it to conga, and it was easy. Only i had to do is:
pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpath0p1
Once the physical volume exists, it appears in conga when creating a new volume group, so you can choose it. Doing the same on the rest of the nodes i finally could create the clustered volume group and the corresponding gfs2 filesystem, and mount it on 3 nodes.
I personnaly gave up using conga.
About HP-DM, there is a OS's shipped solution (on which relies HP-DM!)
called device-mapper-multipath, there's no necessity to use the HP
one.
Uhm, I know, but supposedly it give support for my MSA2312fc ... so i don't know if it would run only with device-mapper-multipath.
Thank you very much,
Arturo.

> I'm using RHEL 5.4 with an HP MSA2312fc array, and I'm trying to configure a 3-node cluster sharing a GFS filesystem. I want to do this by using Conga. All went good, the cluster is up, but when going to the "storage" tab, I saw 8 devices (sda, sdb...sdh). This is caused of course by having two HBA in every node (there is another 4th node that is going to access another volume on the MSA).
