Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for your response. I also have Blade Servers running RHEL5.2 booting off SAN. My follow up question is, can I re-configure/modify an already installed server? I installed the dynamic multipath RPM as per RedHat's online instructions but when I run mpath -v2, nothing pops up. If I run "fdisk -l" I can see the same single disk as /dev/sda, sdb, sdc and sdd, as expected.
