Description

 

The following EMC CLARiiON devices are presented to a Solaris server using EMC PowerPath as the multipathing solution.

 

In this instance, the Solaris server is connected to the EMC CLARiiON array with an IP address of "10.12.208.81".

 

 

Sample output

 

Note: The EMC CLARiiON StorageGroup "rdgv240sol13+14-bootdisks" consists of three disks.

Summary

 

EMC CLARiiON ALU reference "ALU 3" refers to emcpower3
EMC CLARiiON ALU reference "ALU 78" refers to emcpower4
EMC CLARiiON ALU reference "ALU 79" refers to emcpower2

 

 

TPD (Third Party Driver)

 

As of 5.0 MP3 onwards, VxVM/DMP will report the EMC PowerPath (TPD) EMC CLARiiON controlled devices under the PP_EMC_CLARiiON enclosure type.

pp_emc0           PP_EMC         000290300822         CONNECTED    A/A        11

 

Note: As of 5.0 MP3 onwards, DMP will now report a LUN count per enclosure. In this instance there are "3" disks associated with the EMC CLARiiON enclosure.
