Hardware

Hey all. I've read the Traffic Manager docs and done online searches, but can find very little detail about connecting a SunFire 280R running Solaris 9 to an EMC Symmetrix, using 2 Emulex HBAs, and using Traffic Manager to handle failover.

I've installed the Traffic Manager (TM) packages and the required patches for TM, and made many different modifications to /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf but I still can't get TM to combine the paths as advertised.

I've ran the inq command EMC provides and the Vendor ID comes back as EMC and the Product ID comes back as SYMMETRIX. In the docs it says that VID must be 5 characters and PID 8 characters. I've tried various combinations of EMC and SYMMETRIX and spaces and such, but still, no worky.

One thing I've noticed is that every reference I've found to TM always mentions QLogic HBAs. Is that the only HBA that TM supports? Has anyone successfully used TM to connect to an EMC Symm and provide failover?

Help please!
