Its because the "Unlic"ensed ones are set to a policy of "BasicFailover" instead of "CLAROpt".
BasicFailover is a "give-away" option which requires no license key, to allow non-disruptive upgrades to be performed on the Clariion. It doesn't perform any load-balancing, and only allows two paths to be configured (hence why your other two show as "Unlic").
Its probably happened because storage was configured before the PP license key was installed.
To resolve this:
# powermt set policy=co class=clariion dev=all # powermt save
Does anyone out here have a condensed list of the PowerPath commands and their use? Rather than having to look it up in the doc set, it would be handy to have on hand. Just a thought....
- check powerpath license - powermt check_registration - check devices : powermt display dev=all | more - check number of dead paths : powermt display paths - remove dead paths : powermt check (useful to see if a single HBA or port is acting funny) - scan paths : powermt config - save config : powermt save (usually after powermt config) - check version - powermt version
