How do I test the mpxio(stms) on a dual HBA?
I have - solaris 10 on server v240, HBA dual of Qlogic(qlc model).
I can see one LUN within 2 deffrent path(2 regular device files).
I enabled the stms(stmsboot -e) and now I can see only one device file(stms device file).
3 questions:
--
How can I check the stms(to see that stms working ok)?
How can I cause (command line) to offline one path to the lun?
How can I change stms NOT use loadbalance, and how I can see that the paths bacome to be failover?
thanks

Pulling the fibre is the only way to be absolutely sure that the OS is going to correctly recognise channel failure.In recent updates to solaris 10, you can use the mpathadm command.But I would still recommend manually pulling the fibre to verify how the OS is going to

You can "switch" primary and secondary paths with
luxadm failover primary | secondary pathname
I don't know how well this simulates a real failure, but I assume that if this doesn't work neither would pulling a cable.
I think messages a sent to syslogd noting the failure and stms' reaction.
