I recently discovered a problem with a HP EVA 5000 Firmware 3028 which is only able for active/passive, but the driver loaded by esx was: VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AA
This resulted in two dead paths for each attached LUN.
To fix this issue run following command:
esxcli nmp satp addrule –satp=”VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AP” –vendor=”COMPAQ” –model=”HSV110 (C)COMPAQ” –description=”active/passive Compaq EVA 5000″
esxcli nmp satp listrules -s VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AP should now list your new rule.
Reboot the host and make sure VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AP driver is loaded.
