You can use DMP instead of third-party drivers for advanced storage management. This section describes how to set up DMP to manage ZFS pools and any ZFS file systems that operate on those pools.
After you install DMP, set up DMP for use with ZFS. To set up DMP for use with ZFS, turn on the dmp_native_support tunable. When this tunable is turned on, DMP enables support for ZFS on any device that does not have a VxVM label and is not in control of any third party multi-pathing (TPD) software. In addition, turning on the dmp_native_support tunable migrates any ZFS pools that are not in use onto DMP devices.
The dmp_native_support tunable enables DMP support for ZFS, as follows:
To turn on the dmp_native_support tunable, use the following command:
# vxdmpadm settune dmp_native_support=on
The first time this operation is performed, the command reports if a pool is in use, and does not migrate those devices. To migrate the pool onto DMP, stop the pool. Then execute the vxdmpadm settune command again to migrate the pool onto DMP.
To verify the value of the dmp_native_support tunable, use the following command:
# vxdmpadm gettune dmp_native_support Tunable Current Value Default Value ---------------------------- ---------------- ----------------- dmp_native_support on off
