Hi,

I hope someone is able to help me. I have two M610 Blades, one running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 and the other running Windows Server 2003 R2 SE 32bit. The scenario is the same on both servers and the problem presents itself the same as well.

I am trying to connect the blades, containing LPE1205-M Fibre channel pass-through modules, to an EMC AX 150 and am unable to see any HBA's in PowerPath Administrator or Navisphere Server Utility. If I run HBAnywhere then I can see the HBA's without any issue and they pass all the self tests within that software. I have installed (what I think to be) the lastest firmware and drivers and have installed the latest version of both PowerPath (5.2.0) and Navisphere (6.20.4.2.0) for the respective OS on the Blades.

I am able to log into the SAN software and assign volumes to the servers, which then present as multiple volumes because I am unable to configure PowerPath to allow multipathing to present one volume. Because of this I am presuming that communication is ok between server and SAN and am presuming that the adapters are functioning correctly.

I hope all this makes sense (if not then please let me know what further info I can provide) and hope that someone can help me.

Many thanks,

Chris.
