How to use multipath disk for ASM running on non-global zone

shirishsMay 5 2016 — edited May 5 2016

I have a LUN from netapp storage with multiplying on Solaris 11.3.

I want to assign this multipath disk path to non-global zone as raw device for oracle ASM .

I read somewhere that "The s2 slice of each Solaris disk is the backup slice representing the entire disk. It cannot or should not be used for ASM."

Experts please assist .

root@solaris-test:~# mpathadm list lu

/dev/rdsk/c0t60A9800057396D4E614B42555A6C7863d0s2

Total Path Count: 2

Operational Path Count: 2

.....

root@solaris-test:~# sanlun lun show -p -v

ONTAP Path: tmo-pet-sea1afiler-1b:/vol/solaristest/lun4

LUN: 4

LUN Size: 100g

Controller CF State: Cluster Enabled

Controller Partner: tmo-pet-sea1afiler-1a

Host Device: /dev/rdsk/c0t60A9800057396D4E614B42555A6C7863d0s2

Mode: 7

Multipath Provider: Sun Microsystems

Multipath Policy: Native

.....

root@solaris-test:~# echo | format

Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

0. c0t60A9800057396D4E614B42555A6C6C6Cd0 <NETAPP-LUN-8020 cyl 12798 alt 2 hd 256 sec 64>

/scsi_vhci/disk@g60a9800057396d4e614b42555a6c6c6c
.....

Also, why the format command not not showing multipath device .
