BMR on Solaris Multipathing
“Until now, BMR supported EMC Powerpath solution. But the demand for native multipath is increasing, which is a platform-independent technique. To cater to this demand, support for native multipath is added in BMR 7.5 for the Linux platform.” BMR supports only EMC Powerpath solution. BMR does not Support for Native multipathing on Solaris.

A big deploymment was done, and the backup solution was the Netbackup 7.5 but now we came at the point that BMR does not support Solaris Multipathing. in such situation, Customer is surviving and big question mark on BMR Solaris Multipathing.
