Re: securepath for active/active
if ok, you need to install ULM first
ULM(upper layer protocol) is in OS or APP CD..
not work? remove & reinstall
when it install, you must have to select active-active(autopath) not active-passive (securepath)

Re: securepath for active/active
I had to uninstall Secure Path, reinstall the original software from CD and then apply the SP#2 patch 2 loaded from HP site. (That's right, Service Pack 2 has a patch). Just double check your swagent.log file at each step.
Oh and you might find that you may have to set the load balancing policy and turn discover ON.

Re: securepath for active/active
I am confused with the thread because in my knowledge secure-path for EVAs run the spmgr commands and not autopath.
Can you run #spmgr display
Let me know the outcome.

Re: securepath for active/active
This is specifically what I ordered. So I assume since its the latest it would be SP2.
T3549C HP SP HP-UX v3.0F 1 LTU/CD
Another thing, when I go to the upgrade website, there is whole list of update and I dont know which one use in my case. There are these choices:
1. SecurePath 3.0F Service Pack 2 Patch 2
2. SecurePath 3.0F Service Pack 2
3. SecurePath 3.0F Service Pack 1
4. SecurePath 3.0F Software Update
Now do I install all of them? if so in what order?

Re: securepath for active/active
After that, I presented 2 LUNs to the server. But I had to reboot the server after presenttion or else I was getting "no valied SecurePath devices found".
After that, I am disapointed by the presentation style adopted by this version of SecurePath. NO LUN masking!! For the 2 LUNS presented by the array I got 16 isntances on ioscan! Imagine if I had more than 50 LUNs. From the other forums, I am supposed to just pick one of these devices files and create a volume group out of it. No problem with that. My problems comes on the suggestion that I can tuck in the other device files under the volume group to avoid mistaking them as unused LUNs. Do I use vgextend with all the other instance deveice files or how else do i do that?
Attached find my scenario.
Thanks in advance,
Otukile

Re: securepath for active/active
Well, that's the way AutoPath happens to work :-(
> Do I use vgextend with all the other instance deveice files
Yes, there is a customer advisory which recommends adding all paths. Otherwise, the system will not be able to activate the volume group if this path is unavailable during boot:

Re: securepath for active/active
autopath is for raids in active-active mode.
spmgr is for raids in active-passive mode.
Both commands allow you to set load balencing policies on your devices.
If you use SAM to create your PVs, VGs and LVs you will see only one device PER LUN presneted and the number of paths next to it.
If you can afford it use Veritas dmp (device multipath) it allow you to put weights on preferred paths but still use them all for HA.
This allows more bandwith control of HBAs, RAID controller paths.
