Hi, if you are seeing 'unlic' it means that the path is possibly still unlicensed. powermt set policy=so dev=all powermt save Should sort this out. Some revs of powerpath on a new install require you to do this,  following the install.  This will be documented in the release notes.

SKT, my concern is why the policy is set to 'BasicFailover' though i set it to so [symmopt]

RobertDudley · Answer

unlic means unlicensed and basic failover mode is all you get if its not licensed or 'thinks' its not licensed.  Basic failover mode can also be set manually.

Please try rebooting the server, if no license issue, hope it should help.
