SANworksTM Secure Path v3.0 for Sun SolarisTM by Compaq
OVERVIEW
SANworks Secure Path v3.0 for Sun Solaris
SANworks Secure Path for Sun is multi-path, high availability software that manages and maintains continuous data access to Compaq storage systems
enabling no single point of failure from server to storage. SANworks Secure Path is host-resident software that monitors the data paths between server
and storage to increase availability of information. In the event that a path failure is detected, SANworks Secure Path fails over to an alternative path.
When that path becomes available, SANworks Secure Path can automatically failback to the original path. SANworks Secure Path for Sun can also
balance the workload among available paths to optimize system performance.
SANworks Secure Path v3.0 for Sun supports Sun hosts connected to StorageWorksTM MA6000, MA8000/EMA12000 and RA8000/ESA12000 storage
solutions by Compaq.

No Single Point-Of-Failure
Multiple path failover capability and redundant components architecture eliminate single points-of-failure from server to storage in a clustered or single
server configuration. SANworks Secure Path v3.0 for Sun supports up to 32 paths per LUN.
High Availability
Fibre channel storage controllers provide redundant paths for continuous 24x7 data access. Redundant physical connections define separate physical
"paths" in a SANworks Secure Path hardware configuration. Each path originates at an HBA port on the server and ends at a unique RAID controller port
in the storage system.
Performance
SANworks Secure Path v3.0 for Sun products provides load balancing across the available paths to optimize the performance of the storage controllers.
Storage Consolidation
Two or more hosts can share the same storage allowing maximum utilization of resources.
Event Notification
Learn about changes in the state of the paths via the console, email or syslog.
Operating System Support
Supports Solaris v2.6, Solaris 7 (32-bit and 64-bit modes), Solaris 8 (32-bit and 64-bit modes)
Manageability
The SANworks Secure Path Management Tool (spmgr) has the following features:
add - Add a new device to the SANworks Secure Path configuration.
alias - Assign an alias to an object.
delete - Removes a device from the Secure Path configuration.
display - Displays information about configured Secure Path devices.
log - Sets logging to the console, system log file and email notification.
notify - Manage email address and event logging severity to each email recipient.
prefer - Assign a preferred attribute to a path.
quiesce - Move active I/O to an alternative object and temporarily remove selected object from use.
restart - Return a previously quiesced object to an active or available state.
restore - Restore one or more devices to their preferred I/O path.
select - Select a path for I/O.
set - Enable or disable special driver functionality.
unalias - Delete an alias.
unprefer - Remove a preferred path attribute.
