multipathing on 11.31 server

[Francis Flan]

How do i use multipathing on my blade server. I know in 11.31 it has its own native multipathing instead of SecurePath but Ive no idea where to find out how to use/activate it.

What is it called and are there manuals?
Any hints?

It's just native in the OS. If you have >1 path to a disk, 11iv3 should automagically pick that up and present you with just a single LUN.

See the whitepapers here:

hi francis;
if you use persistent device files ( /dev/disk/disk1 ) instead legacy device files , you will use native multipathing.
you can use "ioscan -f dsf" to see device mappings.
