Recovering from a failed Veritas DMP Implementation

[Wayne Rippy]

We are looking at installing Veritas DMP across 4 clusters in our production site. As a contingency plan, we are preparing for the worst case scenerio (within reason).

Has anyone ever run their environment without any Pathing Software installed. i.e Secure Path or DMP ?

Without using Secure Path or a 3rd party solution to pathing, what type of problems might you see ?

:: Configuration ::

4) 2/16 Fabric Switches Cascaded
6 Luns presented to 8 nodes in a multi cluster
Standard HA (2 HBA's per server, preferred multi-pathing to the controllers, transparent failover etc.)

If more information is needed please ask.
