Using Powerpath for Linux with multiple storage vendors
We are in the process of migrating data off of our EMC VNX and on to our Pure storage //m50 array. We have a few RedHat 6 hosts That are using Powerpath as their MPIO software. This is fine for connecting to the VNX, however we need to connect this to our Pure Storage array and move the data there. I found an article that states that it is not recommended to install dm-multipath on the same host as powerpath as it can cause kernel panics. Should I uninstall powerpath and install dm-multipath or will powerpath be able to manage non-emc storage? For the later, we plan on Rye ring these hosts in a few months time, So I'm not concerned with the powerpath license expiring. Thanks
Red hat supports multipath using supplied tools against EMC storage, problem is that documentation is behind paywall.
How about EMC documentation for multipath on RedHat?
