is it really the same host in two storage groups ?  I don't see how that's possible, it should have gotten removed from another SG. Can you check something ..go into SG properties, HOsts tab ..switch to engineering mode (Cntrl + Shift + F12). Compare WWN for host in SG1 and SG2 ..are they really the same ?
All:  I know it's not supported but we have an older CX3-80 with NaviSphere 2.24, which has the same HP-UX server in 2 x seperate Storage Groups.  The Server sees BOTH sets of LUNs from both Storage Groups.  I believe that this is NOT supported, is "illegal", and shouldn't even work, but it's there and working none-the-less.  So, I want to fix this, before we upgrade to FLARE 3.29 (whatever the latest supported is), which we've scheduled for next month. I'm not sure that the EMC CE will do the FLARE Upgrade if the storage configuration is "illegal".  They run a HealthCheck, and the config may "fail" the HealthCheck.  Here is what I'm thinking I'll do: 1.  Shut down server applications. 2.  I'm going to move all of the LUNs from SG2 to SG1 and add them to the existing LUNs in SG1.  3.  Then I'm going to destroy SG2.       remove host from SG2.      remove LUNs from SG2      destroy SG2 4.  Then, rediscover all LUNs on Server:      ioscan      insf      powermt check      powermt restore      powermt config      powermt save      So, here are some questions: 1.  How did the state above come about?  It should be impossible. 2.  Do you think that the CE's HealthCheck will fail?  I'm not sure how smart it is.... 2.  does this sound like a workable plan, above. 3.  will the CxTxDx numbers change on the "moved" SG2 LUNs when I rediscover them?  I think that it will, since the "HLU" numbers will change. 4.  Will I need to do a "vgexport / vgimport" on the VGs after I rediscover the LUNs on the Server (if the CxTxDx numbers change)?
