Oracle Solaris SAN rules
This section describes the SAN rules for Oracle Solaris.
For current storage system support, see the SPOCK website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access.
Table 97 (page 204) describes the SAN configuration rules for Oracle Solaris. Table 98 (page 206)
describes support for Oracle Solaris storage, HBA, and multipathing coexistence.
Table 97 Oracle Solaris SAN configuration rules
Solaris SAN rules
Storage systems
1
All supported
• Zoning is required when Solaris is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating systems.
• Supports Veritas Cluster Server, Solaris Cluster, and PRIMECLUSTER. Contact an HP storage
representative for version and storage system support. Not all storage system types are supported
on all cluster solutions. 3PAR storage does not support PRIMECLUSTER.
• Each cluster must be in its own zone.
• Supports connection of single HBA servers.
• Supports multipathing high-availability configuration implemented in multiple fabrics or in a single
fabric with zoned paths.
• Requires a multipathing driver for active/active or active/passive failover with two or more paths.
3PAR storage does not support active/passive failover.
P2000 G3
• Zoning is required when Oracle Solaris is used in a heterogeneous SAN with other operating
systems.
MSA2000fc G2
• Single path is not supported. MPxIO is required.
(MSA2300fc)
• Retry count must be set to 10; entry in /kernel/drv/sd.conf must be set as follows:
SD-config-list=”HP MSA”,”retries-timeout: 10”;
SD-config-list=”HP P2000”,”retries-timeout: 10”;
Note: There should be six spaces between “HP” and the array model, “MSA” or “P2000.”
• Supports boot from SAN. For more information, see “P6000/EVA SAN boot support” (page 229)
and “P9000/XP SAN boot support” (page 238).
P6350 EVA
P6500 EVA
EVA4100

• Requires MPxIO, Veritas Volume Manager DMP, or HDLM multipathing driver. For version support,
contact an HP storage representative. For multipathing coexistence support, see Table 98 (page
206).

SVSP 3.0
• SVSP supports Oracle Solaris and Solaris clusters as of 3.0.2 release. For more information about
Solaris support and supported Fibre Channel components, see the SPOCK website at http://
www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access.
• Requires MPxIO
• For information about zoning of host initiator ports, DPM target ports, DPM initiator ports, VSM
ports, and storage target ports, see the SVSP requirements.
3PAR StoreServ
10000/7000; 3PAR
F-Class, T-Class
• For information about configuring different storage system families on the same server with different
HBAs, see “Common server, different HBAs” (page 209).
• Zoning by HBA is required when used in a heterogeneous SAN, including other operating systems
and other storage system families or types.
• For information about Solaris support and supported Fibre Channel components, see the SPOCK
website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable
access.
• All hosts must have the appropriate Host Operating System type parameter set (Host Persona) and
the required host settings described in the HP 3PAR Solaris Implementation Guide.
