My experience is that zfs + powerpath + clariion doesn't work. (Try a 'zpool export' followed by 'zpool import' - do you get your pool back?) For this I've had to get rid of powerpath and use mpxio instead. The problem seems to be that the clariion arrays are active/passive and zfs trips up if it tries to use one of the passive links. Using mpxio hides this and works fine. And powerpath on the (active/active) DMX-4 seems to be OK too. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
