I'm installing EMC PowerPath on AIX 5.2 for the first time to work with out CLARiiON CX3-20c. I have a large number of existing SSA and a couple SCSI disks on the host.
Will installing EMC PowerPath affect how those disks are accessed/named in any way? My hunch is "no", but I've been unable to locate any explicit information about them. The manual says to varyoff any volume groups on "storage-system hdisk devices". I assume this means SAN storage, and that my SSA hdisks will not be converted into hdiskpower devices, but I need to make sure before I do this.
Any help, please?
Thanks!
