HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform administrator guide (5697-0204, January 2010)

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/multipathoptions/index.html. HP-UX 11iv2 requires
a purchase of the appropriate number of Secure Path licenses. (HP-UX 11iv3 does not require the
addition of a new multipath driver.) You should upgrade to the latest multipath drivers on all systems
in the SAN as soon as possible, so as not to have different versions of multipath running on various
servers.
AIX multipathing
If any third-party multipath solutions, such as Antemeta or Veritas are installed, they need to be
uninstalled before installing MPIO for SVSP.
