Assuming you meet the minimum BIOS levels for an Emulex or Qlogic HBA, you may well find that on Solaris 10 x64 you are happier disabling vxdmp on your SAN connections and instead using the native SAN suite which comes with the OS by issuing "stmsboot -e" (it'll reboot your system at the end of the configuration process).

Storage Foundation HA Standard v5.0 on Solaris 10 X64 that is hooked up to an HDS AMS200. I have _one_ oddity in the DMP node name for a single LUN. Looking at c6t0d0s2 from the vxdisk list output, I see that the primary path is actually c5t0d0s2 (which I would have expected) and yet the DMPNODENAME is coming out as the controller 6 device. I don't think that this is causing any issues as it does have both paths, but it would be nice to know why this is happening. Any thoughts? I'm not running any other multi-path software (MPxIO has been disabled per the release notes), but this one disk is just behaving differently.
