On windows, QLogic used to have a filter driver called qldirect. That was discontinued around 2004 in favor of Microsoft's MPIO which requires storage vendors to provide a DSM. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing

That's right! The Storage Vendor must implement the MPIO Plugins(DSM), Like Solaris MPxIO or Linux DM PlugIn. I face the Multipath problem too when use Opensolaris as storage platform. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss

Thanks for the quick reply. Isn't mpio in the initiator valid only for iscsi? I'm having the problem now in FC. Younes -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org

What FC HBA are you using? I have qlogic 2Gb and 4Gb card. I believe qlogic removed this feature from their driver. Depending on driver used, 2Gb version might be still possible to use MPIO. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___
