Hi:
Would appreciate it very much if someone could please provide a link for the appropriate multipath driver for a dl385 server running redhat enterprise 4 with qlogic HBA cards of type qla2340.
Thanks

Thanks for the help people.
1. As far as I can tell we have redhat multipath installed : rpm -qa gives device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-42.el4
2. I am hampered by the fact that I can't get the IMT to work for my login (perhaps I am lacking permissions) --I just get a blank screen.
3. We have netapp_linux_host_utilities_5_2 installed, and sanlun commands do work and yield results.
4. We also have SMO installed and working (except we can't do a clone, apparently because we have Oracle9 and not oracle10).
5. We cannot do certain things however (add a lun to the linux for example), and the error seems to indicate that we
have a problem with the multipath. For example:
]# snapdrive storage create -fs /db_stndby -lun MCW-RH-NA01:/vol/orat_stby/q/orat_stby -lunsize 70g -nolvm
LUN MCW-RH-NA01:/vol/orat_stby/q/orat_stby ... created
mapping new lun(s) ... done
discovering new lun(s) ... *failed*
Cleaning up ...
LUN MCW-RH-NA01:/vol/orat_stby/q/orat_stby ... deleted
0001-476 Admin error: Unable to discover the device associated with MCW-RH-NA01:/vol/orat_stby/q/orat_stby.
If multipathing in use, there may be a possible multipathing configuration error.
Please verify the configuration and then retry.
I have attached the /etc/multipath.conf which was last edited by our Netapp support linux expert.
