hitachi san disk on aix 5.3: which driver we need to install on aix?

[alexia32]

Hi,

Do you know if we have to install a driver on aix to recognise the san disks Hitachi ?

like for ibm SAN we need to install sdd driver or EMC san we need to install powerpath etc...

Thanks in advance
Cheers

yes, you need to install the ODM for AIX. it comes with HDLM and with the array microcode CD.

powerpath 5 and above can recognize and use Hitachi disk. so if you have EMC san and add Hitachi, you can use the powerpath driver rather than HDLM
