IBM DS3300 and RDAC multipath

Hey guys.

Im expreincing some lun trashing from my ds3300 iscsi dual controller. Luns are moved forth and back from each controller - IBM told me that there is currently no support for DS3300 in vSphere4, and it is vmware who is confusing the box.

Now i am wondering if is is possible to manually install the RDAC driver from ibm, into linux vmware, and use that in stead of the vmware software iscsi driver, or have i totally misunderstood the concept of a RDAC driver? the problem wopuld not exist if i onlu had 1 path to each lun, but that would be plain stupid.

Thanks

Mikkel

rdac dont is needed, because VMware have NMP (Native Multi Path).
