Hi Bjorn,

I believe you have hit a limitation with PowerPath using a basic-failover license.

You have two HBAs connected to his array but are using a basic-failover license in PowerPath. This is not supported -- please see emc114228. Basic-failover is supported in single-HBA environments only. That's most likely the reason PowerPath didn't fail across the SPs; it was confused as it had a single-HBA license but noted multiple SCSI bus connections to the array.
You will need to purchase a license, or go to a single-HBA environment as supported without a PowerPath license.

Thank you.

Just so its clear, Powerpath will never failover to NIC1 if my NIC0 goes down when i use Powerpath basic (unlicensed)

So there is no use for two Nics connected to iSCSI and PP-basic

Exactly... Failover will only occur in the case of an SP failure, or backend storage failures.
