PowerPath and IBM RDAC software?

Question

I am going to post an official question since I can't confirm this, but does anyone have any experience with trying to install PowerPath on a host already running the IBM RDAC software to provide multi-pathing? We are looking to migrate a Windows 2003 host from an IBM array to a DMX-1000, but it will need to have access to both arrays for a period of time. Of the top thinking we install PowerPath to manage the DMX connections and leave the RDAC software to manage the paths to the IBM array, but I am having trouble confirming this is supported.

it is supported, i have RDAC and PowerPath running on the same box, where it's connected to D280 and CX/DMX. The only caution i would give you is to install RDAC first and then powerpath, not the other way around (lots of BSOD). Also when you uninstall stuff ..remove Powerpath first and then RDAC.
