access a storage system. Another is providing redundant paths from the host to the switch. To determine if your multipathing software is supported, see the support matrix for your edition, which is available from the Documentation Center.
Keep in mind the following:
•SANtricity Manager Utilities must be installed on the host running RDAC for the management server to obtain RDAC information.
•HDLM on Sun Solaris requires the storage array to be included in discovery to report the correct information back to the bindings page. See ”Known Device Issues” on page 722 for more information about HDLM.
•The software supports VERITAS Volume Manager without VxDMP, but VxDMP is required to do multipathing.
•Microsoft Windows 2003 hosts with Service Pack 1 and IBM TotalStorage DS6800 arrays do not stitch properly as a result of the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) appearing on the same disk. The multipathing page returns the Windows SDD path as something similar to
600507630efe01a80000000000001104:c0t0d0p3. This makes it difficult to match it up to your SDD path names.
•Elements managed by the QLogic F/O software display a blank value for Type of MP when you view multipathing information.
The following figure shows how the software detects multipathing for a server running VERITAS Volume Manager. MP is displayed on the path of the redundant volumes:
