Hi Eckebrecht, 2007/2/14, Eckebrecht von Pappenheim <evp@xxxxxxxx>:
> It's true only for non-AVT mode (set host type to Linux to turn AVT mode on) at least for the 6140 this is not correct. It sets the mode to RDAC for the Sun-RDAC-Driver ( http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=44d12115 ). You have to choose 'Solaris (with Veritas DMP or other)' (named SOLAVT in the CLI) to enable AVT.
You're right. It seems that Sun uses different host types from those used by IBM http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-83529-1 ----- ... Linux: This setting is for all Linux OE's using explicit failover via either STM for linux or the mpp(RDAC) driver. ... Solaris (with Veritas DMP): This is for Solaris hosts using Symantec Veritas DMP driver for implicit failover. ... ---- Following Sun terminology, host type with implicit failover should be used for dm multipathing. At least until (if ever) rdac hwhandler will be implemented in device mapper. All best wishes, Yury. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
