even after reboot ..PowerPath would not pick up devices ?

I've rebooted a few times with same result.

Hi,

Make sure PowerPath array status is set for "managed" either by checking the "powermt display options" file in the emcgrab or by running the same "powermt display options" command at the host prompt.

If the specified array is set for "unmanaged":

powermt manage class=symm (or class=clariion, etc.)
powermt display dev=all
powermt save.

Starting with PowerPath 5.x, arrays can be managed or unmanaged. The intention of this solution is to help make sure that the easiest and sometimes most overlooked issue is checked first, which is an "unmanaged class" situation. This can be determined very quickly.

Thanks

any errors in Event Viewer ?

when you say paths ..you actually see your device in Disk Administration ?

In Disk Administrator I see

Disk 0 - Path via 7A:0
Disk 1 - Local
Disk 2 - VCM
Disk 3 - Path via 10A:0
Disk 4 - VCM

When I run a powermt display I get a 'No device(s) found" message
Also tried a powermt check reconfig - same message.

Have you entered a licence key for the product?

Try "powermt check_registration" from the command line.
Is the type of license correct for the type of array?

I've entered a License key and "Symmetrix" is managed.

Jon can you please install Solution Enabler on the host and post output of syminq command ??

If you ran EMCreports on this host before then you can run INQ.exe. You can find this in %SYSTEMROOT%\EMCReports\bin.

Please post the output from INQ.exe.

Furthermore, when you installed PP, how many paths were zoned/masked at that point ?

reason I am asking: it is better to install PP with only 1 path, once all working, you can zone in the additional paths.

If you have the opportunity:
- Unzone 1 path, ensure you only have 1 path to your devices
- Uninstall PP (including reboot)
- Check all dev's OK without PP
- Install PP (including reboot)
- Check all dev's OK with PP on 1 path
- Once you are happy with the above, zone in additional paths
- Check all dev's OK with PP on all paths

Rgds,
Edwin.
