Many non-Sun disk arrays, including non-ALUA types, can work with mpxio. However, there is a difference between "it works" and "its supported" which comes down to the vendors themselves. That said I don't think we document them as it would involve not only confusing the two but also involve encumbered code. I'll ask some people if we can provide the names of the devices. _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
