vxddladm show DMP state as not active
Goodmorning, I have issue that I can't seem to solve and I'm dire need of assistance. I have veritas cluster 5.1 running on solaris 10 connected to an 6180 storage array. The array is directly connected to 2 hotsts. (no switch!). Controller port 1A is connected to host A controller port 1B is connected to host A controller port 2A is connected to host B controller port 2B is connected to host B. DMP is taking care of the multipathing bit and looks ok, however I see that the state is set to not active: Output fromt the vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxlsiall.so : LIB_NAME ASL_VERSION Min. VXVM version ========================================================== Libvxlsiall.so vm-5.1.100-rev-1 5.1 The output of the vxdmpadm list dmpEngenio : Filename: dmpEngenio APM name: dmpEngenio APM version: 1 Feature : VxVM VxVMversion 51 Array Types Supporred: A/PF-LSI Depending Array TypesA/P State :Not-Ative Output from vxdctl mode: mode : enabled. Both hosts show the same result state : Not-Active So my question is : How do I set the state to Active. Bare in mind that this is a full production system so I have make sure that any commands given will not disrupt production. I will schedule downtime in that case. Can someone assist me? Many thanks!

SF5.1 VxDMP caches LUN size?
I recently recrated a LUN with a different size but the same LUN ID (Linux SLES11) and when trying to initialize it as a new disk to VxVM I keeps sticking to the old size, whatever I do (I tried to destroy and reinitialize in different formats and grow many times): # vxdisk list isar2_sas_1 Device: isar2_sas_1 public: slice=5 offset=65792 len=167700688 disk_offset=315 Multipathing information: numpaths: 8 sdu state=disabled sdt state=enabled sds state=disabled sdam state=disabled sdan state=enabled sdb state=enabled sda state=disabled sdv state=enabled ... but the main reasons seems to be DMP is somehow sticking to the old size: # fdisk -l /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1 Disk /dev/vx/dmp/isar2_sas_1: 85.9 GB, 85899345920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10443 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x55074b8b pepper:/etc/vx # fdisk -l /dev/sdt Disk /dev/sdt: 128.8 GB, 128849018880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15665 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x55074b8b Any hints are greatly appreciated :)SolvedSF4.1 VxDMP disables dmpnode on single path failure
This is more like an informational question, since I do not assume anyone has a solution, but just in case I would be thankfull for some enlightment: I am forced to use an old Version SF4.1MP4 in this case on Linux SLES9. For whatever reason DMP does not work with the JBOD I have added. The JBOD (Promise VTrak 610fD) is ALUA, so half of all the available paths are always standy and that is ok. But the DMP in 4.1 when seeing one of 4 paths not working diables the whole DMP Node, rendering the disk unusable: Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-148 i/o error occured on path 8/0x70 belonging to dmpnode 201/0x10<5>VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-148 i/o error anal ysis done on path 8/0x70 belonging to dmpnode 201/0x10<5>VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-0 SCSI error opcode=0x28 returned status=0x1 key=0x2 asc=0x4 ascq=0xb on path 8/0x70 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-112 disabled path 8/0x50 belonging to the dmpnode 201/0x10 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-112 disabled path 8/0x70 belonging to the dmpnode 201/0x10 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-112 disabled path 8/0x10 belonging to the dmpnode 201/0x10 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-112 disabled path 8/0x30 belonging to the dmpnode 201/0x10 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: VxVM vxdmp V-5-0-111 disabled dmpnode 201/0x10 Jun 12 15:35:01 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device VxDMP2, logical block 0 Currently my only solutions seems to stick with Linux DM-Multipathing an add the disks as foreign devices.SolvedDynamic multipath using EMC storage Veritas 3.5

DMP, MPIO, MSDSM, SCSI-3 and ALUA configuration settings
Ok, I'm somewhat confused and the more I read the more confused I think I'm getting. I'm going to be setting up a 4 node active/active cluster for SQL. All of the nodes will have 2 seperate fiber channel HBAs connecting through 2 seperate switches to our NetApp. The NetApp supports ALUA, so the storage guy wants to use it. It is my understanding that I need to use SCSI-3 to get this to work. Sounds good to me so far. My question is, do I need to use any of Microsoft's MPIO or MSDSM? This is on Win 2008 R2. Or does Veritas take care of all of that? Also, I read that in a new cluster set up, only connect 1 path first and then install and then connect the 2nd path and let Veritas detect it and configure it. Is that accurate? Any info or directions you can point me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Solveddmp 5.1SP1PR2 installation prevents RHEL 6.4 server to boot

How Can I Disable DMP?
I have a customer who installed HDLMalong with Storage Foundation 5 on a Solaris 10 server. Not surprisingly, they had issues. Now they want to keep HDLM and Volume Manager but disable DMP. While I do not agree with this approach, I've been given the task to disable DMP. So, I know I can use vxdmpadm exclude vxdmpto exclude controllers from being considered by DMP. My question is, is there a way to completely disable DMPaltogether, or is excluding disks the best way to go?I've found references on the Symantec support site that discuss disabling DMPfor earlier versions of Storage Foundation but nothing that relates to SF 5.SolvedUnable to boot RHEL 6.3 server after installing DMP 5.1 SP1 RP2
