 Chapter 1
Disk Storage Arrays
This document provides storage array support information for solutions using
Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0 products by
Symantec.
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
ƒ “Supported products”
ƒ “Array settings”
ƒ “EMC arrays”
ƒ “Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) arrays”
ƒ “HP arrays”
ƒ “IBM arrays”
ƒ “Sun arrays”

Supported products
For the Veritas products by Symantec supported with the devices in this
document, see the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0
Hardware Compatibility List at http://support.veritas.com/docs/283161.

Supported Technologies
FC
iSCSI:

NOTE: With Solaris 10 Update 5, a disabled iSCSI path will not re-enable
automatically once the path is restored. Sun CR 6719804.
SAS
Array settings
Note: Before implementing any device shown in this document, verify that it is also shown as
supported on the desired platform in the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability
Solutions 5.0 Hardware Compatibility List. Storage arrays in this chapter may have the same
characteristics, including bit settings, across all UNIX platforms, or platform-specific settings.
Specialized or platform-specific information appears immediately following the generalized
information for any given array or array series. The tables of information for each device or
family of devices provide the appropriate platform-based settings.
The settings shown for arrays reflect those used in Symantec’s testing, and are not necessarily
the only supported settings.

Failover modes
The Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) failover function of the Veritas products
supports the following array types:
ƒ Active/Active (A/A) - Supports simultaneous I/O on all paths
ƒ Active/Active-Asymmetric (A/A-A) - Supports simultaneous I/O on all paths, but seeks the
most optimized path for the I/O transmission rate
ƒ Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) - It characterizes the arrays that support
simultaneous I/O on all paths, but seek the most optimized path for the I/O transmission
rate as defined by SPC3.
ƒ Active/Passive (A/P) - Supports I/O on a single primary (active) path, while the secondary
(passive) path is engaged in the event of primary path failure
ƒ Active/Passive-Concurrent (A/P-C) - Supports I/O on multiple primary (active) paths, while
the secondary (passive) paths are engaged in the event of failure of all primary paths
ƒ Active/Passive-Group (A/P-G) - Supports LUN group failover in which a group of LUNs is
connected through a controller as a single failover entity, and failover occurs at the
controller level rather than the LUN level
ƒ Active/Passive-Failover (A/P-F) - Supports I/O on a single primary (active) path, while the
secondary (passive) path is engaged through the use of an explicit command in the event of
primary path failure
ƒ Third Party Driver (TPD) - arrays which are under control of a third party multi-pathing
driver which have pass through support for DMP .e.g. EMC Powerpath ,MPxIO,RDAC

DMP and EMC Symmetrix disk array support

Veritas VM-DMP works with the EMC Symmetrix disk array only if the array meets certain
conditions. Before including the array in your system, confirm that all LUNs are set for SCSI-3 PGR so
that fencing can operate. Follow the settings as per table below for respective platforms:
Contact your EMC Technical Support Representative for instructions or information.

Note that this release of the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions
products no longer include the libvxpurple.so ASL to support Sun T3 and T3+ arrays. Those
arrays are now processed as JBODs with a failover mode of A/P. The conditions required for using
the DMP functionality of the Sun arrays with the supported Veritas products are listed in the
section below.

Using the Sun StorEdge T4 array with Veritas Storage Foundation

You can configure the Sun StorEdge T4 array in the following modes:
ƒ RW (implicit failover or auto-trespass) mode. LUN failover will be triggered on any read or write
command with the exception of a read of LBA 0. To enable the implicit LUN failover, use the sys
mp_support=rw command on the Sun StorEdge T4 array.
ƒ MPxIO (explicit failover or nonauto-trespass) mode. (MPxIO is Solaris OS Multipathing)LUN
failover will be triggered with an array specific command. To enable the explicit LUN failover,
use the sys mp_support=mpxio on the Sun StorEdge T4 array. In this mode, you can use the Sun
StorEdge Traffic Manager (SSTM) driver or DMP to handle multipathing. To enable SSTM see the
Solaris documentation.

If you want to enable DMP to handle multipathing, and your system is running Solaris, the
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file must have the MPxIO mode enabled (mpxio-disable =”yes”).
If you want to enable DMP to handle multipathing and your system is running Solaris 10,
the /kernel/drv/fp.conf file must have the MPxIO mode enabled (mpxio-disable =”yes”).

Note: All hosts in the clustered environment must use the same configuration set-up for the
T4 array.
