https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/vxvm-dmp-versus-securepath-autopath-on-the-xp-array/m-p/3400385#M626285 Hi Nelson,<BR /><BR />1. How does VxVM DMP compare with AutoPath (or SeurePath)?<BR />A. They are similar, SecurePath has a few more load balancing options. I personally have not done any benchmarking, but SecurePath works at the driver level and is version specific to the XP. It should be more efficient.<BR /><BR />2. Does SecurePath (or AutoPath) come free with the XP? Is it expensive?<BR />A. I can't give you any pricing information, but it has a per host licensing model similar to VxVM: see<BR /><A href="http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11402_div/11402_div.html" target="_blank">http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11402_div/11402_div.html</A><BR /><BR />3. Does BusinessCopy/XP require AutoPath?<BR />A. No. You can choose to bypass SecurePath entirely, or you can use it - up to you.<BR /><BR />4. Does BusinessCopy/XP support VxVM as HP-UX's volume manager?<BR />A. Yes. But I would recommend that you purchase the full license for ease of admin.<BR /><BR />5. Does BusinessCopy/XP support PVLINKS?<BR />A. I assume you mean under LVM? Yes, but to the LVM maximum of 4/PV. <BR /><BR />Hope this helps<BR />Regards<BR />Iain Ashley Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:58:27 GMT Iain Ashley 2004-10-19T23:58:27Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/vxvm-dmp-versus-securepath-autopath-on-the-xp-array/m-p/3400384#M626284 Planning to get an XP1024/12000 soon as replacement storage for the problematic EVA 5000's (HP-UX11i Environments). And while waiting for our HP Rep for answers, I thought I'd pose these questions as well on ITRC:<BR /><BR /><BR />1. How does VxVM DMP compare with AutoPath (or SeurePath)?<BR />2. Does SecurePath (or AutoPath) come free with the XP? Is it expensive?<BR />3. Does BusinessCopy/XP require AutoPath?<BR />4. Does BusinessCopy/XP support VxVM as HP-UX's volume manager?<BR />5. Does BusinessCopy/XP support PVLINKS?<BR /><BR />Thanks! <BR /><BR /> Thu, 14 Oct 2004 14:19:58 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/vxvm-dmp-versus-securepath-autopath-on-the-xp-array/m-p/3400384#M626284 Alzhy 2004-10-14T14:19:58Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/vxvm-dmp-versus-securepath-autopath-on-the-xp-array/m-p/3400385#M626285 Hi Nelson,<BR /><BR />1.
