4.7.1 VERITAS

This section contains the following topics:

■ Section 4.7.1.1, “VERITAS Enabling and Disabling DMP” on page 4-12

■ Section 4.7.1.2, “HA Configuration Using VERITAS” on page 4-13

■ Section 4.7.1.3, “Adding or Moving Arrays Under VERITAS” on page 4-13

The A3x00 has been tested and qualified with VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM)

and SDS. Both VxVM and SDS are layered software running on top of rdriver.

The only A3x00 cluster environment that has been tested and qualified by Sun is Sun

Cluster 2.1 and Sun Cluster 2.2. Other cluster software (VERITAS Cluster Server and

FirstWatch, for example) has not been tested nor qualified by Sun.

4.7.1.1 VERITAS Enabling and Disabling DMP

■ The following document, available on the Sonoma Engineering web site, provides

instructions for installing, running, and administrating VxVM with A3x00:

http://webhome.sfbay/A3x00/Sonoma/VM_A3x00_A1000.pdf

■ VERITAS VxVM supports DMP (Dynamic Multipathing). This feature conflicts

with the dual path control of RAID Manager 6. VxVM release 3.0.2 addressed this

issue so that RAID Manager 6.22x can coexist with DMP on the same host. DMP

should be disabled under previous versions of VxVM. Refer to the Sun StorEdge

RAID Manager 6.22 Release Notes for instructions on disabling DMP.
