Do i need to install vxdmp on hpux 11.31 ?

Hello experts,

Do i need to install vxdmp on hpux 11.31 or it is there by default ? I know that hpux comes with Base-VxVM and if DMP also comes preinstalled, do i need to add any license to start using the DMP features ?

The base VxVM does not contain DMP, but then 11.31 has MPIO built into the OS stack anyway...

what are you trying to do here?

you can use the native OS multipathing by doing a

vxddladm set namingscheme=osn mode=new

This will allow vxvm to use the new disk device names and that will use the native mutlipathing built into the OS.

Shalom,

If you use vxvm then you would want to use it.

vxvm is optional, you can use LVM and ignore vxvm if you so chooose.

All VxVM binaries, libraries, etc -- including vxdmp is installed on 11.31 evebn at BOE. However those features like DMP, DJQR, etc are enabled by adding a license (fom Symantec) or swinstalling codeword locked full VxVM bits from HP.

With Base-VxVM, you can I think try doing a vxdisk init on the DSF disk device and check if "vxdisk list dm-name" will simply use the DSF device and entrust mutipathing to 11.31's native multipather.
