Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
We are going to connect rx7640 server with running hp-ux 11v2 to XP24000. But we don't know how to do the muitipath in hp-ux. Do we need to purchase muiltipath software separately or it is in-built feature in hp-ux v2?

You will need to buy the latest version of secure path / autopath software for multipathing .

Re: Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
In order to enable PVLink , Do we need autopath software or other software?
I have heard about the autopath is doing multipating in HP-UX for active/active mode. Anyway what does autopath do?

Re: Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
Secure Path = full and automatic load balancing, but costs $$$. Also Secure Path becomes defunct at HP-UX11iv3 as MPIO is built in to the OS
PVLinks = Part of LVM, so you can only use it if you are using LVM (so if you were using for example Oracle ASM it would be no use to you). PVLinks is free as part of the OS but provides only manual staticn load balancing (i.e. you do IO to LUN1 down path 1, LUN 2 down path 2, LUN3 down path 1 LUN4 down path 2 etc. Only when a path fails does IO go down the other path)

Re: Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
Understood well.We are going to not use LSM. We suppose to use Oracle ASM. If we use oracle ASM, do we need to purchase any multipath software?

Any reason why you're not deploying on 11iv3 (which has native MPIO)?

Re: Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
Currently server is running with hp-ux v2. Therefore no option to use hp-ux v3.
However, in the current system Secure path is already installed and being connected to EVA3K and EVA8100.Now we are going to connect this server to XP24000 and remove old EVAs. Our oracle people are going to implement Oracle RAC and ASM same time in new stroage. So I want to get an idea how to implement the SAN alternative path redundancy. Currently EVA3K has active-passive mode and EVA8100 has Active-Active mode.
Can I use the existing Secure Path software to get this job done.Current version is as below.
HPswsp A.3.0F.00F.00F HP StorageWorks Secure Path Device Driver and utilities for Active-Active Disk Arrays
CPQswsp A.3.0F.02F.02F HP StorageWorks Secure Path Device Driver, utilities, and upgrade patch for Active-Passive Disk Arrays
Appreciate if you can solve this matter.

Re: Muiltipathing hp-ux 11 v2 for XP24000
This is Secure Path 3.0F sp2, not the sp3.If I install SP 3.0F sp3, Do we need another MPXIO for the multipath if am using ASM?
