Issue

FCP initiator show doesn't show all active sessions

From the host end, all paths can be seen properly and seem to be functioning as per multipath -ll output.

[root@XXXX ~]# multipath -ll

fcp initiator show does not show all the sessions to all the nodes.

NetApp::*> fcp initiator show (vserver fcp initiator show) Logical Port Initiator Initiator Vserver Interface Address WWNN WWPN Igroup --------- ----------------- -------- ------------ ------------ --------------- XXXX Lif_N2_0d 11800 20:00:00:10:9b:dd:96:XX 10:00:00:10:9b:dd:96:XX XXX3 XXXX Lif_N3_0C 11800 20:00:00:10:9b:dd:96:XY 10:00:00:10:9b:dd:96:XY XXX3

igroup show -v may not show all the session either for fc initiators.

However, running fcp initiator show -node node_name shows all the sessions as expected.
