Sorry for any confusion...

I've got several powerpath devices from a dead system that I'm mounting
temporarily on one node in my cluster.  I run a devfsadm -Cv and vxdctl
enable.  After that I can see the powerpath devices listed as...

emc_clarrion0_10  auto:none         -          -    online invalid

I modified my /etc/vfstab file to mount the devices..

/dev/vx/dmp/emc_clariion0_10s6   /dev/vx/rdmp/emc_clariion0_10s6   /u10
ufs   3 yes -

The device mounts and I can access the file system with all my data.  When
the activity starts to increase on these temporary mount points, I see a
count down on the console that port H has lost connectivity. After the 16
seconds, the node panics and of course reboots.  However, if I mount the
power path devices using a single path..

/dev/dsk/c1t5006016100600432d10s6  /dev/rdsk/c1t5006016100600432d10s6  /u10
ufs 3 yes -

I never get the port H losing connectivity.

I want to use the dmp name in case I lose a path to these disk.

Any reason why using the dmp name causes port H to lose connectivity vs.
using a single path?

Thanks,
Collin
