Autopath with LVM

Hi,

I am accessing an EVA4000 from HP-UX 11.23 and using "secure path for active-active V3.0F SP2," i.e., the autopath command. I have four paths to my LUN. I can see, with ioscan, all four hardware paths and they each have device files.

I see that autopath has assigned "Virtual Device File : /hpap/dsk/hpap0"
But I understand that I am not to use that for LVM.

How do I access this LUN with LVM ?

Tkanks,

Miguel

Miguel,

Just pick one of the 4 standard LUNs you can see - Secure Path/autopath will still manage load balancing to the other paths anyway.

I still add all 4 paths into my VG, even though PVLinks are never used - it just makes it clearer that the LUNs are all pointing at the same vdisk.
