From: milos_cohagen on 26 Aug 2006 15:21 Hello, Brand new Solaris 10 install, follwoing Fibre and Multipathing guide. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0139 Enable multipathing with command: stmsboot -e Reboot the system. All is well, luxadm shows now only one device instead of a device per fibre path. However, I attempt to run some of the 'mpathadm' commands and it simply does not exist on this system. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Cohagen

Mine shows the "mpathadm" command installed at /usr/sbin/mpathadm, and the entry in the /var/sadm/install/contents file shows: /usr/sbin/mpathadm f none 0555 root bin 69536 12341 1154367156 SUNWmpathadm

Those docs are in error/released too soon. mpathadm won't be in Solaris 10 until update 3, which will supposedly be out in late November. /dale
From: milos_cohagen on 10 Sep 2006 15:01 Thanks for your reply Dale. If the document is released too soon, is it safe to follow it's instructions for enabling multi-pathing? We've done some tests and it seems to work well. But it is a bit concerning. Is there some other command to be used to check the status of the multi-pathing? I'd just like to see the state of the system and see something like: yes path is active, is in active-active configuration. Anything out there to do this besides mpathadm? Also, am I correct in thinking that Traffic Manager is obsolete with Solaris 10 and all it's features are built in? This is the assumption I'm working on right now.
