If Solaris 'format' command output displays for one of the paths to the LUN, then theCLARiiON failover mode is set to 1 for this Solarishost.

prtvtoc:/dev/rdsk/c2t5006016B10602F83d5s2: Unable to read Disk geometry errno =0x5

Another way to determine failover mode is by using
# vxdmpadm listenclosureall

Example #1: The sample output below is taken fromhost running VxVM 5.0 with FAILOVERMODE =1

# vxdmpadm listenclosureall
ENCLR_NAME ENCLR_TYPE ENCLR_SNO STATUS ARRAY_TYPE
============================================================================
Disk Disk DISKS CONNECTED Disk
EMC0 EMC 890504 CONNECTED A/A
EMC_CLARiiON0 EMC_CLARiiON CK200043000033 CONNECTED CLR-A/PF <=== ### FailoverMode=1

Example#2: Another example from VxVM 4.1with FAILOVERMODE = 2

# vxdmpadmlistenclosureall
ENCLR_NAME ENCLR_TYPE ENCLR_SNO STATUS ARRAY_TYPE
============================================================================
EMC0 EMC 890279 CONNECTED A/A
