Future AP Support

AP multipath I/O technology is being retired in favor of the newer, more scalable technologies presented by Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager and IPMP.

These modern technologies present better overall multipath solutions, with refined, user-friendly interfaces that are well integrated with Solaris. IPMP also provides true automatic switching for networks upon error detection.

If you use AP for its I/O multipath capabilities, you are encouraged to unconfigure your AP installations, and begin utilizing these newer technologies for I/O multipath control.

All 3 technologies are available during the Solaris 8 timeframe. However, be advised that AP will no longer be available in Solaris 9.
