desired kernel mode. If you switch the kernel mode from 32 bits to 64

bits when only the 32-bit version of HDLM is installed, you must reinstall

HDLM after the switch is completed. For details on how to switch the

kernel mode, see

When installing HDLM on a host where a Device Manager Agent 5.0 or

later is installed, do not execute any of the following commands of Device

Manager Agent during installation:

hbsasrv, HiScan, hdvmagt_account, hdvmagt_schedule, hldutil, TIC

Notes on Related Software

When using VxVM on the same host as HDLM, do not register any disk

groups containing HDLM devices in bootdg.

When configuring a boot disk environment on a host that is using VxVM

4.1, and then executing a VxVM command such as the vxdisk list, or
vxdmpadm listenclosure all command, the enclosure type FAKE_ARRAY

is displayed for the boot disk but there is no problem. For details on this

phenomenon, see the Symantec documentation VERITAS Storage

Foundation(TM) 4.1 Release Notes Solaris Maintenance Pack 1.

If you use the vxinstall program or the vxdiskadm utility to perform an

encapsulation while creating a disk group with an HDLM device or adding

an HDLM device to a disk group, the KAPL08019-E or KAPL08022-E

message might be output; however, this will not affect operations.

Make sure that the version of HDLM is the same for all nodes on a cluster.

HDLM and Sun StorageTek RAID Manager cannot be both present. Before

installing HDLM, remove Sun StorageTek RAID Manager. If either of the

following is applied, delete the /devices/devices link file by using the

following command, and then install HDLM:

¢

When removing Sun StorageTek RAID Manager

¢

When Sun StorageTek RAID Manager was previously installed and

the /devices/devices link file remains
# rm /devices/devices

For details on the /devices/devices link file, refer to the bug report for

Bug ID 4673499 on the My Oracle Support website. You need a My Oracle

Support account to view the bug report.

For devices that can be managed by HDLM, you cannot use Sun

StorageTek Traffic Manager software (or, in Solaris 10, the Solaris

multipathing software MPxIO). If Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager

software (or MPxIO) is needed for devices that cannot be managed by

HDLM, you will need to separate HBA ports that recognize devices that
can be managed by HDLM from those that cannot.

#

In addition, for an

HBA port that recognizes devices that can be managed by HDLM, you will

need to disable Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software (or MPxIO).
