HDLM on Sun Solaris requires the storage array to be included in discovery to report the correct

information back to the bindings page. See ”

Known Device Issues

” on page 693 for more

information about HDLM.

The software supports VERITAS Volume Manager without VxDMP, but VxDMP is required to do

multipathing.

Microsoft Windows 2003 hosts with Service Pack 1 and IBM TotalStorage DS6800 arrays do

not stitch properly as a result of the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) appearing on the same disk.

The multipathing page returns the Windows SDD path as something similar to

"600507630efe01a80000000000001104:c0t0d0p3". This makes it difficult to match it up to

your SDD path names.

The following figure displays how the software detects multipathing for a server running VERITAS

Volume Manager. "MP" is displayed on the path of the redundant volumes.
