Linux Multipathing

Physically connect HBA to disk array.

Create LUN on disk array (50 GB in this case).

Reboot server to see new LUN. Note 2 separate device files with same size. This is normal.

Reboot again and interrupt the boot process and enable BIOS on the HBA card by pressing Control-Q.

Find disk device names (select sdc and sde)

[root@chrysek log]# dmesg | grep sectors
SCSI device sda: 142577664 512-byte hdwr sectors (73000 MB)
