VxVM Disk Array Configuration Updates
18 VERITAS Volume Manager Hardware Notes
DMP supports the Ultra SCSI and the fast-wide differential (FWD) SCSI controllers used
with the EMC Symmetrix disk array.
◆ Ultra SCSI and fast-wide differential (FWD) SCSI support has been tested on the EMC
OSD (Open System Director) controller.
◆ DMP was tested on and supports the Jaycor fiber controllers: firmware release level F,
and driver level V2.0.1EMC and V2.0.2EMC. You should contact Jaycor and EMC for
the latest supported driver for the specific controller being used on the EMC
Symmetrix.
Note Uncommenting the failover= line in /kernel/drv/fca.conf is important
for the DMP failover as it reduces the amount of time it takes for a path to be
considered failed. The default time is over five minutes. Setting this value lower
reduces the time considerably.
Contact your VERITAS sales representative for further updates on hardware support.
