Prerequisites Multipathing support A Sun Solaris system with EVA3000/5000 storage requires the installation of either Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing or VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software on each host to achieve high-availability, multipath capability. Sun Solaris MPxIO/Multipathing and VERITAS VxVM/DMP multipathing software require at least one FCA connected to both controllers. VERITAS VxVM/DMP can require installation of an array support library in order to recognize the arrays.

Avoiding problem situations The following sections describe problems that may arise and their solutions. Configuring different multipathing solutions HP strongly recommends that you not configure storage systems with different multipathing software on the same FCA. Use separate FCAs for different multipathing solutions. SSSU Changing comments on a disk enclosure Use HP Command View EVA to change comments on a disk enclosure.
