The only approach to this that worked was by trial and error on my part (which was very time consuming) was as follows. – This doesnt happen if you dont use the tools, but just use Linux native MPIO. This doesnt work at all using the HIT tools and tells you that the process could not read block 0, and gives you all sorts of wonderful messages about not being happy with the superblocks on the device. The documentation(for RedHat MPIO on EQL) states as a final step that you need to do the following(this is entirely absent from the HIT tools docs): The instructions for actually formatting and adding the device to the system could use some more detail. I found this a bit worrying, particularly if you are sharing your admin roles with someone else, they could inadvertently break the entire configuration. I tested this once I had a working 6.0 installation by doing the yum_update, and it completely broke the ability to address the iSCSI devices properly using the Dell tools. – This in itself is a problem, as it effectively takes the 6.0 installation and makes it 6.1. ![]() The first thing that the docs tell you to do is make sure that you are at the latest supported release of 6 and to perform a yum_update. So I did some digging around and debugging of the installation procedure and docs. – So I downloaded 6.0 and had exactly the same issues… After a lengthly support call, I was told that although the documentation said that it supported RH6 what this actually meant was 6.0. So I downloaded a version of RH6.1 to test the new tools on, only to find that this didnt work as intended. The main issue I had straight way that I was predominantly using SuSE SLES as my preferred Enterprise distro, but the RPMs provided by Dell for the HIT tools and MPIO had a load of dependencies that needed to be resolved before it was even possible to start using the extended functionality that these tools offer on SuSE. #EQUALLOGIC PS6500 DISK MAP INSTALL#It seems that Dell have done a great job in getting the Host Integration Tools to work with RH5.5 and ESXi and also the MEM for MPIO and I love the product, but I encountered some problems when trying to install a RH6 server and connect it all up following the docs on the Dell site. Xxx suspects your message is spam and rejected it.I decided to write the following post after having some problems getting iSCSI connectivity to work correctly with a Dell EQL PS6500 Array with RedHat 6.
