Settings for md Devices

This section explains the procedures that the user must perform when using
md devices.

Notes on Setting Up md Devices

The following are notes on using md devices:
• Because HDLM is multi-path software, it cannot be used with the
MULTIPATH function for md devices.
• If you are using the MULTIPATH function for md devices before you install
HDLM, change it to the LINEAR function after installing HDLM.
• An md device created in HDLM cannot be used in a boot disk
environment.
• If an md device has been applied to a directory that cannot be
unmounted while the system is operating (such as /opt, /tmp, or /var),
HDLM cannot be applied to that md device.
• You cannot use the disk partition type RAID (fd).
