Issue

 

Igroup show command ::> igroup show -vserver svm1 -igroup igroup1 shows only half the initiators logged into storage.
 
Vserver Name: svm01
 Igroup Name: igroup1
    Protocol: fcp
     OS Type: vmware
        ALUA: true
  Initiators:   20:01:34:80:0d:df:96:f4 (logged in)
                20:01:34:80:0d:df:96:f5 (not logged in)  <<<<<
                20:01:34:80:0d:e0:75:48 (logged in)
                20:01:34:80:0d:e0:75:49 (not logged in)  <<<<
 
Note how in this example the last 2 numbers of the WWPN are sequential. This indicates a 2 port HBA with one port would be connected to the A fabric and the other port connected to its redundant B fabric to support MPIO on the host.
