[Rudy Gevaert]

Hello,

I'm running an IBM DS3400 and am seeing a faulty paths:

The storage software says those luns are not 'on the preferred path'.

I'm a bit clueless where to look next.

I see on the storage software that other luns are on that controller, so 
it seems to me that controller/path is not the problem.

Where should I look next?  I'm afraid that if I change the ownership it 
will take the lun offline.

Thanks in advance,

Rudy
