powerpath (emcpower)best practice on redhat

Question

I was wondering if anyone can point me to a set of docs that describe installing and configuring emcpower on a redhat linux system.
I have a configuration up and running but am second guessing myself on what is the best practice.
In particular it appears I have both dm_multipath and emcpower installed and running as services and I don't know if I screwed up.

Thanks

Marco

I will suggest to use single Multipathing software instead of using Dynamic Multipath and powerpath together. and also go through the Link proveded by Dynamo-Vishal

also recommended to resintall the PP once you upgrade the kernel since PP external unlike Multipath . Even though it works most of the time w/o a reinstall
