I did upgrade meanwhile to nv116 (113 doesn't seem to be published). Unfortunately, that changes, but not fixes the problem. stmsboot doesn't claim anymore that MPxIO were not enabled, but instead now only states that no STMS devices were present: --8<-- r...@x13:~# stmsboot -L stmsboot: No STMS devices have been found -->8-- and --8<-- r...@x13:~# stmsboot -D fp -e STMS is already enabled. No changes or reboots needed r...@x13:~# mpathadm list initiator-port Initiator Port: 2101001b322fe020 Initiator Port: 2100001b320fcf20 Initiator Port: 2101001b322fcf20 Initiator Port: 2100001b320fe020 r...@x13:~# mpathadm list lu r...@x13:~# luxadm probe Found Fibre Channel device(s): Node WWN:200400a0b8297a16 Device Type:Disk device Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c10t1d7s2 Node WWN:200400a0b8297a16 Device Type:Disk device Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c10t1d6s2 [..some 28 more devices..] Node WWN:200400a0b82abfb2 Device Type:Disk device Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c13t4d1s2 Node WWN:200400a0b82abfb2 Device Type:Disk device Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c13t4d0s2 -->8-- So how do I get from recognized FC HBA and LUs to multipath'ed devices? That doesn't seem described in the documents listed above (there mpathadm seemingly magically lists the LUs once MPxIO is enabled). I must be missing something.
