Solaris host HDLM If you sync the Solaris host by itself without the switches and storage,
the storage volume page reports all drive types as local.
Once you discover the host with the switches and storage, it reports its
drives as being external. It was the same result with Active-Active and
Active-Standby.
Solaris host HDLM Solaris HDLM disks cannot be monitored. If you try monitoring them,
the management server displays a message saying “data is late or an
error occurred.”
Solaris host HDLM Do a Discovery Data Collection/Get Details for the host by itself. In
the bindings page, the controller number are displayed as c-1. For
example c-1t0d58.
Perform Discovery Data Collection/Get Details on the host with
storage and switches. The controller numbers are displayed correctly.
Solaris host VxVM If you discover a host with any typical SAN disk groups off line, the
storage volume page shows SAN mount points as local instead of
external. These disks, however, are not accessible.
When you perform Discovery Data Collection/Get Details with all
disk groups online, disks on the SAN are shown as external. Hosts
connected directly to a storage system are shown as local, except for
hosts connected by fibre. Hosts connected directly to a storage system
through fibre are shown as external.
Windows
host
VxVM When a Windows host with VxVM is used, the SCSI bus number is
always reported to be one in the SCSI bus column of the Disk Drives
page.
