The storage is connect to two Brocade using all 8 port ( 4 x 2 controller, ports 1,3 of controllers 1 and 2 to Brocade 1; ports 2,3 of controller 1 and 2 to Brocade 2&nbsp; ) . I have a mix of clients with Win2k8 R2 and XP . For w2k8 r2 no problems but for Windows XP I must create a cvpaths file to create a sort of multipath for windows. But I must understand what ports NetApp set active and what ports it set passive on own controllers . Could you help me ? Thank you.</P><P></P><P>Marcello</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:30:38 GMT LABORATORIOGVT 2025-06-05T05:30:38Z How can detect the active/passive port on my E5504 https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-can-detect-the-active-passive-port-on-my-E5504/m-p/16120#M3744 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P>I have a Quantum SNFS vers. 4.3.3 installed and like a storage an E5504 with firmware 08.10.11.00.
