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, RemcoSolved
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!Solved
Why 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.

A path is a connection between the server/host computer and the storage array’s disks and consists of a host adapter and a SCSI bus connection to one or more SCSI disks or a fiber optic channel connected to a hub, switch, or array. Thus, multiple paths are made possible by connecting two or more host bus adapters with either SCSI or fiber optic cabling to the storage array. DMPW manages the multiple paths so that the data on each of the array’s disks is accessible to the host computer. If a path to a disk fails, Dynamic Multi-Pathing automatically transmits data to and from the disk over an alternate path. The paths on an array are set up to work in two ways—either in Active/Active mode, which provides load balancing of the data between multiple paths, or in Active/Passive mode, in which only one path is active and any remaining paths are backups. DMPW is implemented through Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing for Windows Device Specific Modules (DMPW DSMs). DMP DSMs are designed to support a multipath disk storage environment set up with the Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) solution. DMP DSMs work effectively with Windows to provide a fault tolerant multipath disk storage environment.
