Greetings,

We have a V240 with
 Solaris 8
 StorEdge PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter, X6758A
connecting to a
 StorEdge 3310 with dual scsi controller

and am wanting to use multipathing.

I've configured the SE3310 so that it presents the same volumes via multiple scsi id's

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c1t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> Root
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
       1. c1t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> intrn1
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
       2. c1t2d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> intrn2
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@2,0

       6. c6t0d0 <SUN-StorEdge3310-0325 cyl 44281 alt 2 hd 127 sec 127> 3310vol2
          /pci@1d,700000/pci@2/scsi@5/sd@0,0
       7. c6t1d0 <SUN-StorEdge3310-0325 cyl 44281 alt 2 hd 127 sec 127> 3310vol1
          /pci@1d,700000/pci@2/scsi@5/sd@1,0

The docs talk about VERITAS Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) but for cost reasons I'm
not eager to buy DMP.

Is it possible to do Multi-Pathing using Sun Storage Traffic Manager Software (MPXIO)

The SE3510 works with mpxio but costs more.

Thanks

Alberto da Silva
