Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******** Background / configuration **************
zpool will not create a storage pool on fibre channel storage. I'm attached to an IBM SVC using the IBMsdd driver. I have no problem using SVM metadevices and UFS on these devices. List steps to reproduce the problem(if applicable): Build Solaris 10 Update 2 server Attach to an external storage array via IBM SVC Load lpfc driver (6.02h) Load IBMsdd software (1.6.1.0-2) Attempt to use zpool create to make a storage pool: # zpool create -f extdisk vpath1c internal error: unexpected error 22 at line 446 of ../common/libzfs_pool.c ********* reply to customer ******************** It looks like you have an additional unwanted software layer between Solaris and the disk hardware. Currently ZFS needs to access the physical device to work correctly. Something like: # zpool create -f extdisk c5t0d0 c5t1d0 ...... Let me know if this works for you. ************* follow-up question from customer ************ Yes, using the c#t#d# disks work, but anyone using fibre-channel storage on somethink like IBM Shark or EMC Clariion will want multiple paths to disk using either IBMsdd, EMCpower or Solaris native MPIO. Does ZFS work with any of these fibre channel multipathing drivers? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. -- David Curtis - TSE Sun Microsystems 303-272-6628 Enterprise Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] OS / Installation Support Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Mountain _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
