Fibre Channel Secure Path Installation

To install a new Secure Path fibre channel configuration, or to build Secure

Path onto an existing fibre channel configuration, it is recommended that you

first refer to the RA8000/ESA12000 High Availability Application Notes for

Sun Solaris found on the Compaq web site (see site address below). This will

help you become familiar with the high availability connection layout (FC

devices and cabling) of the configuration you want to install or add.

The application notes present a topological layout of several HA options;

provide part numbers and reference documentation, and discuss restrictions

that apply when Secure Path co-exists with Veritas Cluster Server software

and FC hardware devices. At the time of this writing, the High Availability

Application Notes document supporting Sun Solaris is as follows:

RA8000/ESA12000 FC-AL High Availability Configurations for

Sun Solaris
