Re: Datafiles on SAN?

Hi, JL:

    I think you need the multipathing solution for your platform. In a SAN environment, there is more devices, so more chance that device fail. So you need multiple path from host to storage. That means multipathing IO support, like Veritas DMP or Sun AP or HP pvlinks or storage specific solutions.

    Good luck.
