Pvchange -S not available for shared VG (in RAC), alernatives ?

[manoc]

Hi ,
For shared VG in 11iV2 it is not possible to switch primary path using pvchange -S (like in exclusive mode).
It it any other way to activate an alternate link to distribute the IO across HBAs and ports?
thnx

Hi,

I'm just using pvlinks with EVA8000 in Hpux 11.23. I used to pvchange vgs in exclusive mode to ballance the load , but is not possibler in shared mode (Oracle RAC ASM/SLVM). I know thet can be done at configuration time , but I was looking for a runtime solution, without downtime.

Thanks
