AIX native MPIO
Hi folks,
does anybody have a link to a documentation how to implement native MPIO on AIX? We are using EMC PowerPath and Datacore SanSymphony/Cambex for this so far and I wasn't able to find a good description on that topic. All I know so far is that mkpath, chpath and lspath are used to create, change and maintain it.
A short description would be ok too, since the man page for mkpath did not really enlighten me
Thanks in forward.
Greetings
