Hostmode setting on SunSTK 6180 after upgrade no longer supported

[Remco_Etten]

Goodafternoon,

We are in the progress of doing an upgrade to our STKSUN 6180 disk array to firmware version 07.84.44.10. In the release notes of this firmware we run into the following challenge :

Solaris Issues

Solaris with Veritas DMP or other host type
Bug 15840516—With the release of firmware 07.84.44.10, the host type ‘Solaris (with
Veritas DMP or other)’ is no longer a valid host type.

Workaround—If you are using Veritas with DMP, refer to Veritas support
(http://www.symantec.com/support/contact_techsupp_static.jsp) for
a recommended host type.

What hosttype should we choose after the upgrade? Systems connected are running Veritas cluster with DMP.

Please advise,
Remco

Hi Remco,

You need to look in hardware technote for hostmode setting, here is the doc link

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH47728

Page 43 talks about STK6180 array, minimum firmware is 07.5x.xx.xx so you are good with this. Hostmode setting is mentioned as "Solaris (with Traffic Manager)"
