1st time iSCSI HA/DRS cluster

I created a new cluster using 2 - Dell PowerEdge 2950's. They used to be stand alone hosts, but I setup iSCSI to our Dell/EMC CX3-40 for each host. Each host currently has a single NIC configured for iSCSI, configured to each storage processor on the CX3-40. I plan to use iSCSI with 2 physical NIC's, each on its own vSwitch.

Everything seems to be working fine, except HOSTA shows 2 active paths for the iSCSI adapter and HOSTB shows one active and one standby. Is this how its supposed to be?

HOSTA

vmhba33:C0:T1:L0 - Active

vmhba33:C0:T0:L0 - Active (I/O)

HOSTB

vmhba33:C1:T1:L0 - Active (I/O)

vmhba33:C0:T0:L0 - Stand BY

Forget it - I removed the host with 2 active paths from the Storage group in Navisphere (CS3-40) and deleted the SCSI targets and then added it back to the storage group. That appears to have resolved the problem.

One active and one standby path for both.
