setting up a configuration with redundant pathing. Multipathing software makes

7.1.4

Enabling VERITAS DMP

To enable VERITAS Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) support on VERITAS Volume
Manager in the Solaris operating system, perform the following steps.

Note –

To see instructions for enabling VERITAS DMP on other supported platforms,

refer to your VERITAS user documentation.

1. Configure at least two channels as host channels (channels 1 and 3 by default) and add

additional host IDs, if needed.

2. Connect host cables to the I/O host ports configured in Step 1.

3. Map each LUN to two host channels to provide dual-pathed LUNs.

4. Add the correct string to vxddladm so VxVM can manage the LUNs as a multipathed

JBOD.

5. Reboot the hosts. System reboot is required to implement these changes.

Note –

JBOD arrays require a license from VERITAS to enable any of its advanced

features. Refer to VERITAS Volume Manager Release Notes or contact VERITAS
Software Corporation for licensing terms and information.
