Hello Unix Admins:
Has any one in this distribution list implemented SVC (SAN Volume Contoller - A solution from IBM) in your environment? If you have, do you have any do's / don'ts? Anything which you like sharing would be really appreciated.
For example, my inputs:
I tried implementing SDD for SVC on Linux 4.6. It worked fine on one server and not the next one. The reason being that - SDD for SVC cannot be implemented on a Large Linux Kernel. The server where I successfully implemented had a small kernel since it had 16G of RAM. The next server which had 64 Gigs of RAM had a large kernel and SVC is not yet supported on this.
I have been trying to convert a HP-UX 11i Server from EMC Powerpath to SVC. We have a number of disk devices which are zero bytes. Each time we try to access these drives with a "dd" command or "diskinfo" etc., the server panics. The issue is un-resolved at the moment.
Please send your experiences and solutions if you have found any. Thanks for all your help in advance.
