Last week, i ran into a situation, where the output from "vxdmpadm listenclosure all" on a Solaris 10 host looks weird.
Here is the output i see :
root# vxdmpadm listenclosure all

Even though there is only one CX array connected to this host, i see 20 arrays - equal to the number of luns presented on this host. This host is using EMCpowerpath, hence this is not an issue - but look weird and causes confusion.
To fix this problem, had a look at the CX configuration for the host storage group and found something interesting. Here is the output of storage group configuration from SP:
SP Name: SP B
SP Port ID: 2
HBA Devicename: PwrP:c3t5006016A1060284Bd0s0
Trusted: NO
Logged In: YES
Source ID: 6946832
Defined: YES
Initiator Type: 3
StorageGroup Name: sstm9732psy
ArrayCommPath: 1
Unit serial number: LUN
Failover mode: 1
SP Name: SP A
SP Port ID: 2
HBA Devicename: PwrP:c3t500601621060284Bd0s0

Source ID: 6946832
Defined: YES
Initiator Type: 3
StorageGroup Name: sstm9732psy
ArrayCommPath: 1
Unit serial number: LUN
Failover mode: 1
Looks like this setting is causing each lun to be presented to host with a unique array serial number and causing weird output. Once storage team has fixed this setting to "Array", all looks good.
