Powerpath Queries.
Dear Experts,
I have four queries -
1) 1) We have 8 SUN (oracle Servers) 4 are in SUN cluster. Each server has Two HBA. Can anyone please I have idea how many power path licenses required? I believe one server require one power path license.
2) 2) After server crash if we re-installing OS can we use same powerpath License, or need to get new one (if the license is under warranty). Need to pay for that?
3) 3) What are the anticipated issues related to powerpath, that customer required support from vendor. In my two year experience powerpath never give any issues. “Powermt display always shows “0” error.
4) 4) Solaris have own mutilating tool “stmsboot”. What are advantages EMC Powerpath over the “stmsboot”
Best regards,
Muneer.

1) PowerPath is licensed based on CPU count, there is also a distinction between x86 vs non-x86. PowerPath/VE has a different pricing model as well. Better get in touch with your sales team
2) You can re-use the same powerpath key
3) That's the good thing about PowerPath, it's very low maintenance, as long as everything is licensed and correct policy is set, there is nothing to maintain. (try to keep up with new versions and new features/patches come out)
4) PowerPath has more intelligence built-in into it, it provides better load-balancing, failover/failback

You might also want to post this question in the "HOST" forum - that's where most PowerPath general questions are answered.
