[OpenIndiana-discuss] Multipathing help

According to  -

"Sun Solaris host attachment to the IBM 1722-all models (DS4300), 
1724-all models (DS4100), 1742-models 90U/90X (DS4500), 1814-all models 
(DS4200, DS4700, DS3950 and DS5020), 1815-all models (DS4800), and 
1818-all models (DS5100 and DS5300) requires additional purchase of an 
IBM Sun Solaris Host Kit Option."

Don't know if that applies to your array or not.  It sounds similar to 
NetApp, which I had to get their Host Kit with scripts to setup your 
scsi_vhci.conf, fp.conf and ssd.conf with the right entries and 
parameters for MPxIO to pick things up correctly.  Also, I don't know 
this particular storage, so I'm not sure, but with NetApp you also have 
to make sure ALUA is enabled for each Solaris host that's connected.

Hope this is more helpful than distracting.

Cheers,
Brian
