Hostmode setting on SunSTK 6180 after upgrade no longer supported
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, RemcoSolvedWhy does 1 subpath in multipathing use slice 2 and not the other??
Wondering why disk 2 show slice 2 whereas the other subpaths show only disk? Does this mean that this disk has been formatted/labeled differently? They all should be labeled EFI.
