Enabling MPxIO
To enable MPxIO for HP storage devices, the appropriate information for device-type-scsi-options-listneed to be added in the /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file.
1.Use a text editor to change the configuration file. For example:
# vi /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf
2.For Solaris 8 and 9 perform the following steps:
a.Change the mpxio-disable parameter to the following: mpxio-disable="no";
b.Verify that the load-balance and auto-failback parameters are set to the following values (the default setting may vary depending on the patch level / OS version):
load-balance="none"; auto-failback="disable";
c.Add the following lines to cover all HP arrays:
device-type-scsi-options-list =
| | | |
"HP | HSV101", | "symmetric-option", |
"COMPAQ | HSV111", | "symmetric-option", |
"HP | HSV2", | "symmetric-option", |
"HP | OPEN", | "symmetric-option"; |
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
NOTE:
Enter six spaces after ”HP” and two spaces after “COMPAQ”.
3.For Solaris 10 (patch 118833-24 for SPARC, patch 118855-19 for x86), the scsi_vhci driver is capable of detecting Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) compliant devices advertised in the Target Port Group Support (TPGS) field. The EVA 4000/6000/8000 and the EVA 3000/5000
V4 are ALUA compliant arrays. Add the following lines to cover all HP arrays:
| | |
device-type-scsi-options-list | = |
"HP | OPEN", "symmetric-option"; |
symmetric-option = 0x1000000; | |
NOTE:
Enter six spaces after ”HP”.
4.Depending on the Solaris version, select one of the following options:
a.For Solaris 8 or 9—run a reconfiguration reboot in order to activate the changes:
#reboot -- -r
b.For Solaris 10 (SPARC)—run the stmsboot command and confirm the reboot:
#stmsboot –e
c.For Solaris 10 (x86)–reboot the system to load the new definition if you are configuring for XP. Configuring for EVA does not require a reboot since definition has already been configured.
