Hi,

We had received a new EMC storage (Clariion CX4) and the EMC analist has told us that CentOS aren't on their support list, but RHEL are :)

Well anybody on the list has a CentOS host talking (iSCSI) with an EMC storage, preferably using the EMC Powerpath software, and can talk about you experience? Or I will need to buy some REHL licenses ?

I'll put my hands on it only next week, but I'm trying to get prepared to do it :)

Thanks in advance,

Stay away from powerpath, use dm-multipath. It will take some configuration, but once done smoother than power path you won't have to rpm -e && rpm -ivh powerpath with each kernel update
