Hi,

We use starwind with a 3 NODE SAN setup.
We use MPIO to handle this multipath setup.

Last month we encountered some hardware problems and had to setup a new Starwind node.
No problem, no downtime.

But now we have in the MPIO overview multiple paths to the same server.
How can I remove some of these paths, so that I only have 1 path per Starwind server.

I also noticed I have multiple 'Devices' in the MPIO overview, maybe problems are related?

I see on 'healthy' disks, that there is only 1 device and 3 paths.
But I can't seem to find the option to delete a device or path in MPIO.

Hello
Did you try to disconnect your third device in the iSCSI initiator and remove your third device in the Discovery/Favorite tab.
But only third node device.
And add third node device again.
