5. You may check and change the maxcontig parameter later with the fstyp and tunefs

commands as outlined in the following example:

# fstyp -v /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0

| grep maxcontig

maxcontig 128 rotdelay 0ms rps 90

# tunefs -a 32 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0

Creating the mount directories

1. Create a mount directory for each device using the mkdir command.

2. Enter each device into the mount table by editing /etc/vfstab.

3. Use the mount -a command to auto-mount devices.

4. Use a df -k command to verify the devices auto-mounted.

Configuring for use with Veritas Volume Manager 4.x and later

HP XP7 disk arrays are certified for VxVM support.

Be sure to set the driver parameters correctly when you install the FCA. Failure to do so can result

in a loss of path failover in DMP. See “Installing and configuring the FCAs” (page 71) and the

FCA manufacturer's instructions for setting specific FCA parameters.

VxVM 3.2 and later use ASL to configure the DMP feature and other parameters. The ASL is required

for all arrays. With VxVM 5.0 or later, the ASL is delivered with the Volume Manager and does

not need to be installed separately. With VxVM 4.x versions, you need to download and install

the ASL from the Symantec/Veritas support website (http://support.veritas.com):

1. Select Volume Manager for Unix/Linux as product and search the XP7 array model for Solaris

as the platform.

2. Read the TechFile that appears and follow the instructions to download and install the ASL.

After installing the ASL, verify that the XP7 array is visible and the ASL is present using the

vxdmpadm listctlr all and vxddladm listsupport all commands.

Example

# vxddladm listsupport all

grep HPlibvxxp256.so HP All

libvxhpxp.so HP 0450, 0451

libhpxp12k.so HP 50, 51

78 Solaris
