Securepath and Hitachi Thunder 9500 Series
We are planning to install some HP boxes (hp-ux 11.11 64bit) in a Hitachi Data System Thunder 9570V. Each hp box have 2 HBAs and the thunder has 2 controllers. Each controller has 2 FC ports.
My question is: can I use HP Securepath to provide HBA availability (failover for example)? Is this Securepath compatible with Thunder 9500 series?
Thanks,
Daniel Estevam Gomes

Re: Securepath and Hitachi Thunder 9500 Series
SecurePath 3.0D is available for both HSX (EVA/VA) and XP Arrays (Hitachi based). The SecurePath 3.0D installer asks for the type of array at install time.
SecurePath gives you active path protection and load balancing (HBA and Controller) but you will pay licensing costs.
However, if you are using LVM .. then PVLINKs will work (just present the LDEVs to both HBA but such will not be active-active (on the FC links) as well as on the controller side). If you use VxVM (Full License that is), then Hitachi arrays are supported under its DMP (Dynamic Multi-Pathing and is an active/active setup..)

Re: Securepath and Hitachi Thunder 9500 Series
As a result the question you should ask is "Does AutoPath XP woth with my Hitachi Thunder?"
cheers... Ian.

SecurePath (XP) is not supported with Hitachi Storage. HP also told me, that SP will be discontinued this year.

Re: Securepath and Hitachi Thunder 9500 Series
SecurePath for XP arrays (really the same AutoPath product) only supports the XP branded Hitachi arrays. If you are however using VxVM (full license) on your HP-UX environments - then the Hitachi Thunder array is fully supported under DMP.. Additionally you will need to download and install the ASL - Array Support Library for Hitachi Thunder arrays from Veritas or HP.
Otherwise, if you're stuck with LVM - then you're left with no recourse but to simply use PVLINKs -- you'll have no active active balancing but you'll have failover/path protection.
