Symptoms
It is observed that Target Port Group (TPG) ID values, reported in mpathadm show lu <device> output under the "Target Port Groups" section, for LUN(s) from Sun Storage 2500(-M2)/6000 series arrays change after the array reboots. The TPG IDs are swapped after reboot for the respective target ports and also the order in which the TPG displayed, are swapped.
This issue occurs in all instances of Solaris 9/10 connected to Sun Storage 2500(-M2)/6000 series arrays.
However there is a difference in Solaris 11 environment:
- This symptom can be seen in a Solaris 11 host connected to Sun Storage 2500(-M2)/6000 series arrays running firmware lower than 07.84.xx.xx,
- TPG IDs remain intact if a Solaris 11 host is connected to Sun Storage 2500(-M2)/6000 series arrays running firmware 07.84.xx.xx or higher.
Before reboot:
Target port 202400a0b838900b has TPG id 2
Target port 202500a0b838900b has TPG id 4
