I rebuilt my 4-node lab cluster the other day using 8.3RC1, and I've run into an odd issue that I hope the community can help me with. I setup a SAN SVM with both FCP and iSCSI. I created the requisite volumes, LUNs, portsets, LIFs, igroups, etc. to export an iSCSI and FCP LUN to my CentOS 6 client. This client had previously mounted FCP and iSCSI LUNs from this cluster when it was 8.2. I was forced to rebuild this cluster from scratch, so this is essentially a clean build and not an upgrade.
My problem is that using either iSCSI or FCP I can see the client login to the filer on all 4 nodes:

However, on the client side I only see two nodes:
[root@san_client ~]# sanlun lun show -p
ONTAP Path: san_vserver:/vol/fcp_volume/lun0
LUN: 0
LUN Size: 100g
Product: cDOT

Multipath Policy: round-robin 0
Multipath Provider: Native

path path /dev/ host vserver
state type node adapter LIF
--------- ---------- ------- ------------ ----------------------------------------------
up primary sdf host1 labcluster-01_fc_lif_1
up secondary sde host1 labcluster-02_fc_lif_1
My SAN is non-redundant, but I should still see 4 paths -- one for each controller. My client /etc/multipath.conf is setup per NetApp best-practices.
I've tried just about everything I can think of to troubleshoot this. I'm thinking it might be a license issue (licenses are demos from NetApp) that would limit the protocols to 2 nodes. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to check the license node limits in 8.3?
Thanks!
