Hi, Originally the openfiler was not on the internet, I put it on and ran the updates, I can now see my SAN luns. (It does complain about a qlogic firmware image issue on bootup but it does work. Which I will look at more closely)
The x4500 does indeed show all the disks when I run cat /proc/partitions Can I be cheeky and ask another question regarding the clustering options? I get the impression that the clustering of two openfilers replicates the data between them. Is it possible to just have the hosts clustered for failover but using shared disks via a san?

The either reload the qla2xxx module or reboot. Let me know whether all 48 (49) disks show up in /proc/partitions and I'll fix the bug in the GUI code accordingly.
