Hitachi

This is a project to integrate Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage and Workgroup Modular Storage systems with native Solaris MPxIO.  Dual controller Adaptable Modular Storage and Workgroup Modular Storage models can then fully utilize multiple paths in MPxIO environments.  This will also enable the full functionality of MPxIO with these Hitachi storage systems in Sun Cluster environments.

The benefits of full native MPxIO support are as follows:

Improve the performance results from utilization of dual controllers.
“Dual active” support allows LUNs to be accessed by their assigned controller.
Effectively represent and manage devices that are accessible through multiple I/O controller interfaces within a single instance of the Solaris OS.
Protect against I/O outages due to I/O controller failures. Should one I/O controller fail, MPxIO automatically switches to an alternate controller.
