Re: [Veritas-vx] How to define No. of paths in DMP?
Do you actually have 6 paths to the disk to begin with ? If you don't have 6, then what did you expect DMP to do ? If you do have 6, have you excluded the 2 other paths ? - Original Message From: Munish Dhawan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Sent: Tuesday, 28 November, 2006 2:48:41 AM Subject: [Veritas-vx] How to define No. of paths in DMP? Hi , I want to know how we can configure/change the no. of paths in Veritas DMP. I mean to say, when I run check with vxdmpadm getdmpnode enclosure=Disk It shows me 4 under PATHS coloumn, Can I change this to 6 paths and how can I do it ? FYI.. Vxvm 3.5 Storage - EMC Clariion and Symmetrix I have another Question can DMp and Powrpath Can Co-exist? What I think is Yes it can. correct me if iam wrong. Any Suggestions/help would be Appreciated. Regards, Munish Dhawan Thanks Regards, Munish Dhawan Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!

It's showing you the number of logical connections between the host and that storage device. To see more, you need to add more. This can be done in many different ways. Add additional controllers on the host and use the additional controllers to attach to the storage. Add or reconfigure switches so that visibility of the storage is increased. Connect additional links to the storage front-end. Publish the storage on additional front-end ports. Unless DMP or VxVM is explicitly ignoring a valid path, you don't do anything in DMP to add paths. It's showing them all. FYI..

Yes, it can, but you probably only want one of them to attempt to handle the multipathing of a particular storage device. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
