When using VxVM on the same host as HDLM, do not register any disk
groups containing HDLM devices in bootdg.
When configuring a boot disk environment on a host that is using VxVM
4.1, and then executing a VxVM command such as the vxdisk list, or
vxdmpadm listenclosure all command, the enclosure type FAKE_ARRAY
is displayed for the boot disk but there is no problem. For details on this
phenomenon, see the Symantec documentation VERITAS Storage
Foundation(TM) 4.1 Release Notes Solaris Maintenance Pack 1.
If you use the vxinstall program or the vxdiskadm utility to perform an
encapsulation while creating a disk group with an HDLM device or adding
an HDLM device to a disk group, the KAPL08019-E or KAPL08022-E
message might be output; however, this will not affect operations.
Make sure that the version of HDLM is the same for all nodes on a cluster.

For devices that can be managed by HDLM, you cannot use Sun
StorageTek Traffic Manager software (or, in Solaris 10, the Solaris
multipathing software MPxIO). If Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager
software (or MPxIO) is needed for devices that cannot be managed by
HDLM, you will need to separate HBA ports that recognize devices that
can be managed by HDLM from those that cannot.
HBA port that recognizes devices that can be managed by HDLM, you will
need to disable Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software (or MPxIO).
