It should report 17 SCSI3 LUNs. why should it report 17? if you have set up 17 luns, showing up as 36 devices is not that strange; first you have the management lun, so the kernel should see18 if you configure 17 real disk ones, and then you have 2 paths to the device, so that is times 2 ==> 36. Now the multipathing in the linux kernel then should bundle those into multipathing devices, after the kernel sees them. If that's not happening you should configure the dm multipathing component.... was the machine that is working also using multipathing? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
