11.8.2 Multipathing Software Support
Multipathing software is supported on the Integrity VM Host system. Unless specified otherwise,
multipathing is supported for use with either legacy virtual I/O (virtual adapter type specified
as scsi) or AVIO (virtual adapter type specified as avio_stor). The required version for these
products is determined by the software vendor and the release of HP-UX installed on the VM
Host system.
NOTE: Starting with HP-UX 11i v3 0909, LV Mirroring is supported on HP-UX 11i v3 guests
with Integrity VM V4.0 or later using AVIO.
