Hi,
My storage admin just assigned a Lun (fibre) to my server. Then re scanned using

echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host5/issue_lip

echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host6/issue_lip

I can see the scsi device using dmesg

But mpath device are not created for this LUN


Pleas see below. The last 4 should be active and I think this is the problem

Kernel: 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5xen , EL 5.5
