Re: Oracle ASM and RAW devices.
question:
1-
would you want to use character device for the ASM disk group
/hpap/rdsk/hpap0 and not the block device /hpap/dsk/hpap0 ?
2-
Would anyone use this device /hpap/dsk/hpap0
to create volume group?
Thanks,
Tom

For the first question it depends on the application usage of data. Typically if the application reuses data then it is best to go with the block device file since data is buffered and cache hits would mitigate performance penalties. The rules for using raw over block device files and vice-versa remain the same.
No you would not use the virtual device file presented by AutoPath to create the VGs because this is storage side multi-pathing while LVM is host side multi-pathing software. You would create the VGs using LUNs presented by ioscan and vgextend the alternate links.
~hope it helps

Re: Oracle ASM and RAW devices.
oops you're right - you would use the raw device special file for ASM, not the block.

SolutionSecure Path and LVM are separate products with no rel knowledge of each other.
When you created the VG, you *could* have just added on of the didk devive special files, and Secure Path would still have managed failover to the other.
Of course another admin would need to know about Secure Path and run the commands to spot that the other device special file is pointing to the same actual LUN, and there's no harm in adding the alternate link as well. Secure Path should still be the component that manages failover to the other path as its further down the stack, but in theory LVM could as well - it's kind of a 'belt and braces' (is that 'belt and suspenders' in US english???) approach.
