Cannot Execute a Virtual SCSI HBA and a Virtual SAN in the Same Domain

You can use the ldm add-vhba to add a vhba instance that is associated with a vsan instance in the same domain only if Solaris multipathing is enabled for at most one of the following:

  • Virtual SCSI HBA's initiator port

  • Physical HBA initiator port that is encapsulated by the vsan instance

Caution:

Do not enable multipathing in both the virtual SCSI HBA's initiator port and in the virtual SAN's initiator port. This configuration causes the virtual SCSI HBA's discovery of LUNs to deadlock.

For information about how to manage the multipathing state for a physical HBA's initiator port, see Managing SAN Devices and I/O Multipathing in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

For information about how to manage the multipathing state of the initiator port that is represented by a vhba instance, see How to Manage Multipathing for Virtual SCSI HBAs in a Guest Domain.
