As for your old POWER 4 machine the AIX MPIO driver (and the older DS storage subsystems) only support APPCM (Active / Passive Path Control Module) so make sure your zoning only allows one path per adapter / controller - as if it were direct attach.
If you zone each adapter to both controllers you'll end up with a mess in the ODM and get some really strange problems.

Is that going to boot on SAN rootvg volume?

Hi all,
My main function is as a DBA. Another person manages the server and the SAN.
I just want to know if I should be worried about high disk I/O or is it irrelevant as the I/O "load balancing" will be "taken care" of by the SAN?
For example, I have hdisk1-5 and I can see that there are... (2 Replies)
