New Fibre Adapter
I have a Windows host with two fibre adapters connected via a Cisco swithc to my Clarrion. Windows version is 2003 SP2 Enterprise and powerpath is installed (4.6.1.2 I think). When the server was setup and initially connected to the Clarrion one of the adapters was zoned incorrectly so Powerpath Administrator only showed one adapter.
I have corrected the zoning now - what do I need to do on the Clarrtion to allow this path to be used? Sorry if this question is a bit broad - I have limited experience with Powerpath so am not sure if the root issue is there or on the Clarrion side.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Do I need to run the Navisphere Server Utility to resend info to the Clarrion or is it likely that I haven't resolved the zoning in the fabric?
Thanks,
Sam

If this is the case you can try stopping and restarting the NaviAgent on the host, or you can manually register the new initiators and associate them with the existing host. After you do this you will still have to go back to the Connectivity Status for the host itself and you should see the new initiators listed under the "~management" storage group. Now you can "Reconnect" and it should put all the initiators in the proper Storage Group for you.
If I'm completely out to lunch and you were already looking at the Connectivity Status for the entire array, then just ignore me

I want you to follow these steps EXACTLY and tell me what you see:
1. Logged into NaviSphere on your CX300 (but NOT in Engineering Mode) expand the Storage Groups so you can see them all listed
2. Select one of your Storage Groups and expand it so you can see the subfolders (Hosts, LUN, etc.)
3. Expand the hosts folder so you can see the host names
4. Right click on the host and tell me what options you see on the menu that pops up

What CLARiiON array / FLARE are you running?

However: when I open the "hosts" in the top level menu of Navisphere and I right click there on any host, I do get the connectivity status and the "reconnect" button.

I've now seen this on CX300 Flare 19, CX3-10 Flare 24 and Flare 26 and CX3-20 Flare 24 and 26. So what you're describing I cannot reproduce.
Engineering mode works fine for me, so I don't worry about it, but I'm curious about your solution as well, so I keep trying it out on every Clariion I'm encountering

This makes no sense
