Storage and Availability Management

Blogger Jerome Wendt recently posted an entry about Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) on his site.  You can read what he has to say about DMP and the fact that it is now available as a standalone product.  Check out his entry at:

Now DMP is available as a standalone product to support file systems other than VxFS.  It is available now on Solaris, AIX, and Linux.  Coming in November, DMP as a standalone product will be available on HP-UX and Windows.  DMP is still included with Storage Foundation and will be in the future.  The advantage with DMP as a separate product is that now DMP can be added to an existing server without having to convert any file systems to VxFS.
