vmware multipath on PS4100e

Hi everyone,

I'm just installing PS4100e for the first time and got strange behaviour about path on Vmware.
Let me explain.

I've configured a PS4100e as follow :

group name / management ip / storage ip : san / 172.27.0.100 / 192.168.0.100

member name / management ip / storage ip : san1 / 172.27.0.100 / 192.168.0.111 (eth0) & 192.168.0.112 (eth1)

I've several ESXi 4.1u1 (i know it is no more supported but my boss don't want to upgrade them) with a vswitch dedicated to iscsi storage.

I've authorized them to the PS4100e gui.

On VMware, I declared in "iscsi initiator dynamic discovery" the 2 storage ip of san1 (192.168.0.111 & 192.168.0.112). When I launch a rescan, I can see the EQLOGIC iSCSI Disk

BUT I can see only one path for each device.

When I go back to VMware storage adapter configuration, I notice there is only one entry into "iscsi initiator static discovery" labeled with the group storage ip (192.168.0.100) as iscsi server (parent ip is set to 192.168.0.111)

I've espected to have 2 path (per device). What's wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your expert advice.

Emmanuel
