Configuring Solaris 10 x86 for multiple drive paths
To use multiple paths to the same tape drive, NetBackup requires that Solaris Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO) be disabled. MPxIO is enabled by default on Solaris 10 x86 systems.
Use the following procedure to disable MPxIO.
To disable MPxIO
- Use a text editor to open the following file:
/kernel/drv/fp.conf - Change the mpxio-disable value from no to yes. After the change, the line in the file should appear as follows:
mpxio-disable="yes"
- Save the changes and exit from the text editor.
