Ruud,
I'd look at the Fibre Channel Adapter on the ESS. It could be functioning
just well enough to allow a stable link to your SAN (therefore your paths
will look good), but it may not be seeing the DASD inside the ESS. FCAs
are hard to troubleshoot because a loop back test isn't a very reliable
test. All it tells you is that light is traveling successfully around the
loop - it doesn't prove that actual communications are occurring.
Good luck on this one, and please let me know what you find out!
Thank you,
