Hpux 11.31 - Multipathing

[Popy]

Hi,

Was reading the release notes of hpux v3 and found it is capable of doing a multipathing on its own, does that mean I don't need to buy any multipathing software like EMC powerpath for 11.31 ?

What are the other advantages of V3 which you guys have experienced practically ?

I am still reading the pdfs, if I found something interesting I'll post it here,also Can I would request to all experienced 11.31 users to put their comments here please ?

hi vijayy;

yes multipathing is supported natively in 11.31 . so you dont have to buy powerpath sdd autopath .. softwares.

Shalom,

No money required for basic features.

You will find some advanced features require you to purchase the full product. The best analogy I can give is from the filesystem arena. vxfs has basic features, but advanced features like expansion without umount require a pay for product.

Same idea here. Depending on what features you need determines the need to purchase something.
