Question:
======
Anybody successfully running Solaris 7 (64-bit) with EMC's Volume Logix and
Powerpath software?
======
System:
======
E450
(2) LP8000 FC with latest firmware and 4.0 driver
Solaris 7 w/ latest recommended patch cluster plus two patches required by
EMC Powerpath patch 150-3.
Volume Logix
Powerpath
======
Problem:
======
Install OS and patches.
Install Emulex 4.0 driver
Configure persistant binding for the two FC HBAs.
Install EMC Volume Logix.
Install EMC Powerpath 1.5.
Install EMC Powerpath patch 150-03 to enable 64-bit support.
Attempt reboot but system detects a host bus adapter conflict in
/etc/path_to_inst, which it attempts to fix.
Reboot again, but same problem. Attempt boot in single-user mode, but get
same path_to_inst error.
Boot off cdrom and uninstall Powerpath.
System comes up clean.
