• "SANtricity" Manager Utilities" must be installed on the host running RDAC for the
management server to obtain RDAC information.
• HDLM on Sun Solaris requires the storage array to be included in discovery in order to report
the correct information back to the bindings page. For more information about HDLM issues,
see "Troubleshooting HDLM."
• The software supports VERITAS Volume Manager without VxDMP, but VxDMP is required to do
multipathing.
• Microsoft Windows 2003 hosts with Service Pack 1 and IBM TotalStorage DS6800 arrays do
not stitch properly as a result of the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) appearing on the same disk.
The multipathing page returns the Windows SDD path as something similar to
"600507630efe01a80000000000001104:c0t0d0p3". This makes it difficult to match it up
to your SDD path names.
The following figure displays how the software detects multipathing for a server running VERITAS
Volume Manager. "MP" is displayed on the path of the redundant volumes.
