You can install DMP in the virtual I/O server (VIOS). This enables the VIO server to export dmpnodes to the VIO clients. The VIO clients access the dmpnodes in the same way as any other vSCSI devices. DMP handles the I/O to the disks backed by the dmpnodes.
For support information concerning running Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) in Virtual I/O server (VIOS), see the Veritas InfoScale Release Notes.
Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) can operate in the Virtual I/O server. Install DMP on the Virtual I/O server.
