About Sun StorageTek Trac Manager
The Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software enables multipathing connections for Sun Solaris
10 OS hosts. Multipathing provides higher availability for storage devices through the use of
multiple access paths. Fibre Channel (FC), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and Internet Small
Computer Storage Interface (iSCSI) protocols are supported.
The Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software resides on the host and identies the storage
devices on your SAN or SAS Domain. The software enables you to attach Fibre Channel storage
in either loop, fabric, or point-to-point mode. The software provides a common interface for
managing both Fibre Channel and SAS storage.
For information on how to congure targets and initiators in preparation for multipathing, see
