Hi,

We have controller A and controller B connected to both FC swicthes. The host 
sees 4 paths to the LUN (2 active through active controller and 2 ghost 
through passive controller).

I disconnect the fibres that link FC Switch to DS4700 (to the active 
controller). It should send SCSI commands through passive links to ask the 
storage to failover the LUNs active controller. This isn't working.

Any info?

Thanks
Nuno Fernandes
