As a follow-up, here is a small script which will show how MPxIO is creating paths to your devices. The output of this when all paths and devices are healthy may be useful for deciding how to create your storage pool since then you can load-balance the I/O: #!/bin/sh # Test path access to multipathed devices devs=`mpathadm list lu | grep /dev/rdsk/` for dev in $devs do echo "=== $dev ===" mpathadm show lu $dev | egrep '(Access State)|(Current Load Balance)' done Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/ GraphicsMagick Maintainer, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
