Can someone help me understand what the correct # of iSCSI paths should be for this setup? Im getting conflicting information and im not sure if the number im seeing is correct.
We currently have:
2 equallogic (1 ps6000xv & 1 ps61000xv) which both have 4 nics.
esxi5 host with 2 pnics for iSCSI and 2 vmkernel ports (1:1) mapping w/round robin
When this was set up, we only had the 1 eql at the time and I was seeing 2 paths from esxi to the eql. This seemed correct to me.
We recently added the 2nd eql into the same group and now the luns are spread across both eql units. I am still seeing 2 paths from esxi host but now its 1 vmk port is to the first eql and the 2nd vmk port is connected to the 2nd eql. Is this correct? It doesnt seem right to me. I also have a windows 2008 R2 server connected to a different lun on the eql and it shows 4 paths. 2 paths to each of the eql units which makes more sense to me.
do I have something set up incorrectly in vsphere?
Thanks.
