we have a vew boxes using MPIO and they are connected to some virtualization software managing some disk subsystems, offering volumes to the AIX boxes.
Sometimes when a cable has been plugged out for a test or when a real problem occurs, using lspath to show the state of the paths shows... (8 Replies)
Hello,
we are planning to deploy some of our databases on AIX/LPAR based servers (we didn't bought it yet ...).
