Try replacing "f_sym" in your scsi_vhci.conf with "symmetric-option".

The Problem I have is with a Sun Fire x4450 with Solaris 10 X86 update 5, all recommended Patches where applied. I have an iSCSI Device (Vendor: NetAPP) which has 2 Network interfaces for better availability and performance. So I get these targets on my Solaris machine: censhare01:~# iscsiadm list target -S Target: iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.101203508 Alias: NetAppToaster TPGT: 1006 ISID: 4000002a0000 Connections: 1 LUN: 3 Vendor: NETAPP Product: LUN OS Device Name: /dev/rdsk/c2t3d0s2 Target: iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.101203508 Alias: NetAppToaster TPGT: 1005 ISID: 4000002a0000 Connections: 1 LUN: 3 Vendor: NETAPP Product: LUN OS Device Name: /dev/rdsk/c2t4d0s2 Now I want to activate multipathing, that these two devices become one. But the only thing I´ve found is this http://www.sun.com/blueprints/1205/819-3730.pdf Which only "talks" about how it works and whatever, especially in this Document the "MPxIO and Multiple SCSI Target Portals IDs" is what I want! I already did this, whats in the Device and Filesystem Administrator Guide stood: http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/817-5093/817-5093.pdf In /kernel/drv/iscsi.conf I got: mpxio-disable="no"; I also added the storage in the scsi_vhci.conf: device-type-scsi-options-list = "NETAPP LUN", "f_sym"; symmetric-option = 0x1000000; I used iscsiadm to configure booth IP addresses of my NetApp storage: iscsiadm modify initiator-node -c 10.2.1.10,10.2.1.11 iscsiadm modify target-param -c 10.2.1.10,10.2.1.11 iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.101203508 If I list the initiator-node I just get this: server:/kernel/drv# iscsiadm list initiator-node Initiator node name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:4a4a34efffff.489b0c47 Initiator node alias: - Login Parameters (Default/Configured): Header Digest: NONE/- Data Digest: NONE/- Authentication Type: NONE RADIUS Server: NONE RADIUS access: unknown Configured Sessions: 10.2.1.10 10.2.1.11 server:/kernel/drv# iscsiadm list target-param -v iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.101203508 Target: iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.101203508 Alias: NetAppToaster Bi-directional Authentication: disabled Authentication Type: NONE Login Parameters (Default/Configured): Data Sequence In Order: yes/- Data PDU In Order: yes/- Default Time To Retain: 20/- Default Time To Wait: 2/- Error Recovery Level: 0/- First Burst Length: 65536/- Immediate Data: yes/- Initial Ready To Transfer (R2T): yes/- Max Burst Length: 262144/- Max Outstanding R2T: 1/- Max Receive Data Segment Length: 8192/- Max Connections: 1/- Header Digest: NONE/- Data Digest: NONE/- Configured Sessions: 10.2.1.10 10.2.1.11 But with mpathadm list lu I get nothing and with format I still see too many devices: AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 17747 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1000,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 1. c0t2d0 <DEFAULT cyl 17846 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci8086,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1000,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 2. c2t3d0 <DEFAULT cyl 26106 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /iscsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3 3. c2t4d0 <DEFAULT cyl 26106 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /iscsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3 4. c2t6d0 <DEFAULT cyl 26106 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /iscsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3 5. c2t7d0 <DEFAULT cyl 26106 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /iscsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED],3 I wrote to Andrew Rutz because I found in this Bug Report: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6617068 exactly that, what I wanted. I don´t have the Bug, but I also have a NetApp with iSCSI and want multipathing. And I don´t understand why this guy has these long device names, which indicates mutipath capabilities. I would appreciate any help.
