Table 3-19 Supported volume managers
OS Version Architecture Volume manager
1
: Logical domains cannot be used.
2
: This version of Device Manager agent supports volume groups whose version is up to 2.1.
Therefore, even if an LVM that supports volume groups whose version is higher than 2.1 is installed on a
host, the file systems and device files will be created as volume groups of version 2.1.
CAUTION: Even if the Device Manager agent is installed on the host, the GUI LU usage rate will
not be displayed in the following cases:
Windows is the OS on the host using the LUs, and LUs or LU partitions are subject to dynamic disk
management.
Solaris is the OS on the host using the LUs, and LUs are managed by SDS, SVM, or Veritas Volume
Manager.
The OS on the host using the LUs is AIX.
Linux is the OS on the host using the LUs, and LUs satisfy one of the following conditions:
○ The LUs are managed by LVM2.
○ The LUs are partitioned, and some of the LU partitions are managed by a volume manager.
○ The OS on the host using the LUs is HP-UX, and the LUs are managed by LVM.
3-2-7 Supported path management software
Path management software is required when path redundancy is used between host ports and
storage system ports to increase system reliability and availability. The following table lists the path
management software supported by the Device Manager agent. Note that the table only lists OSs
that support path management software.
