Sun StorEdge T3+ Array Installation and Configuration Manual • April 2002
Host Multi-Pathing Management Software
While Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays are redundant devices that automatically reconfigure
whenever a failure occurs on any internal component, a host-based solution is
needed for a redundant data path. Supported multipathing solutions include:
■
VERITAS DMP by VERITAS Volume Manager
■
Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software
During normal operation, I/O moves on the host channel connected to the controller
that owns the LUNs. This path is a primary path. During failover operation, the
multipathing software directs all I/O to the alternate channel’s controller. This path
is the failover path.
When a controller in the master controller unit fails, the alternate master controller
unit becomes the master. When the failed controller is repaired, the new controller
immediately boots, goes online, and becomes the alternate master controller unit.
The former alternate master controller unit remains the master controller unit.
Note –
The multipathing software solution must be installed on the application host
to achieve a fully redundant configuration.
