ZFZ and PowerPath
Hi, I have a query on PowerPath. Is it possible to setup PowerPath to control multipathing of LUN's from EMC and then setup ZFS filesystem on Solaris 10 using multipath'd LUNs.
No Events found!

man_mountain,
Firstly, welcome to the forums and above all thank you for being an EMC customer.
For questions such as this you will want to refer to the PowerPath for Solaris release notes. It will note compatibility with PowerPath as well as the features (in addition to MultiPath such as Encryption and Migration Enabler). The latest release notes are available on support.emc.com and as of this writing:
EMC PowerPath Family for Solaris Version 5.3 and Minor Releases Release Notes
https://support.emc.com/docu20168_PowerPath_Family_for_Solaris_5.3_and_minor_releases_Release_Notes.pdf
You will find the following chart:
Also, another good resource for Host integration with EMC software/hardware, you'll want to review the relevant Host Connectivity Guide which also has a few statements regarding ZFS and a link to a good white paper from Oracle:
EMC Host Connectivity Guide for Oracle Solaris
https://support.emc.com/docu5132_EMC_Host_Connectivity_Guide_for_Oracle_Solaris.pdf
In summary, you'll want to get in the habit of searching for the latest document on support.emc.com; and while getting familiar with searching the website, also useful are the "Support by Product" portals such as "PowerPath for Solaris":
