Note
• When a host and an Oracle RAC 11g voting disk are connected by
multiple paths, HDLM performs failover processing for those paths (in the
same way as for normal paths) when an I/O timeout occurs for one of the
paths.
Note that, depending on the settings of Oracle RAC 11g, Oracle RAC 10g
might determine that a node error has occurred before the failover
processing performed by HDLM is completed, and then re-configure the
cluster.
Therefore, when HDLM manages the paths that are connected to an
Oracle RAC 11g voting disk, change settings as described below.
