Admins,

I have a question concerning multibus failover and Tru64 5.1. Here is our
configuration.

We have several servers, clustered and non clustered, all running 5.1....we have
them SAN connected to fabric switches and these switches are attached to several
pairs of HSG80 controllers. . Now.....Each pair of controllers are attached to
the switches via two ports apiece, each controller pair are in mulit-bus
failover.

We have no problems seeing the connections to the servers and we have access
control set on each unit. We can see the paths to the drives on Tru64 5.1 with
hwmgr.

Now the questions. It appears that the I/O is all going through one path. We
see this by using vtdpy on the controller. We have not set the preferred path
so that it will use either controller, but we notice that the units are listed
as being on one controller....Should we set the preferred path and Doesn't Tru64
5.1 load balance I/O through pathing.
