Multipathing Options in the Sun
StorEdge 6900 Series

Using the virtualization engines presents several challenges in how multipathing is
handled in the Sun StorEdge 6900 series.

Unlike Sun StorEdge T3+ array and Sun StorEdge network FC switch-8 and switch-
16 switch installations, which present primary and secondary pathing options, the
virtualization engines present only primary pathing options to the data host. The
virtualization engines handle all failover and failback operations and mask those
operations from the multipathing software on the data host.

The following example illustrates a Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager problem on a Sun
StorEdge 6900 series system.
