[HPADM] RE: RE: SUMMARY HPUX SecurePath and MPIO

This all sounds a bit odd to me.

PVLinks is and has been available. It is multi-pathing for failover,
regardless if the controllers are active/active or active/passive.

Are you saying that in HPUX 11iV3 that there will be in addition to
multi-pathing, a dynamic I/O capability? Where I/O can be balanced down
these multi-paths (whether round-robin, load balanced, etc...)

Thanks,
 Kenneth

Thanks to Galen, Jordan, Marek, James, and Corinne for their replies.

HPUX includes pvlinks for multi-pathing solutions, but only on
active/active controllers (EVA 4k/6k/8k, as well as the VCS 4.x firmware
for EVA 3k/5k). See

HPUX 11iV3 will include native multi-pathing solutions, but for now (and
if the controllers are active/passive), pay products such as SecurePath
or Veritas Volume Manager DMP are still the way to go.

Thanks,

Hello Admins,
 
I currently connect several HPUX machines to EVA SANs using SecurePath.
Does anyone know if HPUX will start using another MPIO soon, similar to
the free Linux and Windows solutions? Does anyone else any other
multi-pathing software?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Daniel
