problem: link file under /dev/dsk/

Here is my situation:

2 local scsi drive, one SAN drive through HBA card.

          /pseudo/emcp@0
Specify disk (enter its number):


Under new EMC driver for HBA, new SAN drive is using "emcpower0a", while it 
also has an another entry under output of format, like item 0, 1. It also 
point to emcpower0a.

The problem is if I list the link file for two local drivers (item 2,3), it 
acutally points to item 0, 1, which is incorrect.

# ls -l /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          70 Mar  1 16:00 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 -> 
.../.. 
/devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e0106849b1,0:a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          70 Mar  1 16:00 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s0 -> 
.../.. 
/devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e010688441,0:a


How did this happen and how do I fix this?

You're using PowerPath which combines all SAN paths to one disk into one.

You can safely use the /dev/[r]dsk/emcpower devices and disregard the rest.
