Hi
Not sure if you have done this already but install multipath as the os sees multiple presented luns which needs to be tied up to one by multipath also do not use the rh drivers for you qlogic it's not recommended at all for any storage solutions.

Yes here is th o/p of fdisk -l. Two Luns are assigned. one of 323 G and another of 359 G as seen blow. sda is my local disk. So do you think incorrect zoning can lead to this?
Thanks Paras.

Sounds like zoning problem ..
Storage is HDS and the LUN type created was of type netware. I don't know why this type but my storage administrator said its correct.
This
might be an issue?
Or if you can ellaborate how this is zoning problem it wud be great
help.
Are you sure that you can see correct luns? check the size ?

Hi
Not sure if you have done this already but install multipath as the os sees multiple presented luns which needs to be tied up to one by multipath also do not use the rh drivers for you qlogic it's not recommended at all for any storage solutions.
Per
Dear Per,
can you please elaborate why the QLogic kernel module shipping with CentOS 5 / RHEL 5 is not recommended? It for sure is documented to be used at least in the NetApp host utilities guide, without any warning to prefer the driver package provided on the QLogic site. And I do not see any problem using it with CentOS / RHEL 5 device-mapper-multipath on a lot of systems.
