[dm-devel] EMC CX LUN problem

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a new emc cx storage, I have the following:

2 server, each server has a qla2462 dual port hba
each qla2462 is connected to a switch (only one switch)
1 emc cx storage with 4 path connected to the switch

I defined two lun on the storage however I'm able to see only one LUN

multipath -l show the following:

multipath -l
mail (36006016086f01600e46f567adb8cda11)
[size=150 GB][features="1 queue_if_no_path"][hwhandler="1 emc"]
\_ round-robin 0 [active]
 \_ 1:0:1:0 sdd 8:48  [active][ready]
 \_ 1:0:1:1 sde 8:64  [active][ready]
 \_ 2:0:1:0 sdh 8:112 [active][ready]
 \_ 2:0:1:1 sdi 8:128 [active][ready]
\_ round-robin 0 [enabled]
 \_ 2:0:0:0 sdf 8:80  [active][ready]
 \_ 1:0:0:0 sdb 8:16  [active][ready]
 \_ 1:0:0:1 sdc 8:32  [active][ready]
 \_ 2:0:0:1 sdg 8:96  [active][ready]


this seems correct for my configuration however I'm not able to see the 
other LUN, tommorrow I'll try to connect the 2 server directly to the 
storage, some other hint?

from dmesg:

it seems as if only one LUN was defined but the management software 
confirm that two LUN was created,

any help would be appreciated,

thanks
