At this moment, there is no working copy of EMC powerpath or HP Securepath available for my kernel (2.4.21-112-itanium2-smp); therefore, I have to use the luns directly with lvm without any DMP software in the middle. > > Without DMP software, there are two set of 22 luns, each representing one HBA path. See blow. Can you set your HBA driver to do failover? ie: something like this in modules.conf: options qla2300 ql2xfailover=1 ql2xmaxqdepth=64 This works well for my servers connected to a CX-series array. :) The driver handles failing between HBAs (active-passive), and only has the LUN presented once to the system. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "I didn't know Allman was a stand-up comedian ..." - Theo about laughter from sendmail tutorial _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ The following file(s) have been deleted by: Shan Jing on 3/19/2004 1:45:07 PM C.DTF atthx9wo.dat -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
