VxVM DMP Issues
VxVM DMP Lists Disabled Paths That Have Been Reused
• Problem: When one of multiple paths or cables to a disk array is
disconnected, fails, or is swapped with another path, and then that
same path or cable is reconnected or replaced, it is possible that
HP-UX will recognize the recovered path as a new path, not as the
same path that has simply recovered. In this case, DMP will list
twice as many paths: the “new” ones in the ENABLED state and the
“old” ones (that is, from before the paths were swapped, removed or
replaced) in the DISABLED state. I/O continues to be routed
correctly.
• Workaround: None necessary. VxVM DMP will not automatically
clean up the paths that are no longer in use, or that are in the
DISABLED state. When the host is rebooted, the DMP database will
be rebuilt without the DISABLED path definitions.
VxVM 3.5 Does not Support DMP Disabling The disabling of DMP
is not supported in VxVM 3.2 and VxVM 3.5. The utilities that existed
prior to VxVM 3.2 to disable DMP (vxdmpdis) and enable DMP
(vxdmpen) are no longer provided.
