Required attributes of LUNs for DMP devices
When the reserve_policy=single_path and reserve_lock=yes, the SCSI-2 reserve may be placed on the device, which affects I/O load balancing and performance. To prevent the impact to load balancing and performance, set the reserve_policy=no_reserve and reserve_lock=no for the devices that are managed by DMP.
These settings are also required for a cluster set-up.

If the path has the
reserve_lockattribute set, change thereserve_lockattribute tono.# lsattr -E1 hdisk558 | grep reserve_lock reserve_lock yes Reserve Device on open True <!--NeedCopy--># chdev -l hdisk558 -a reserve_lock=no -P hdisk558 changed <!--NeedCopy-->
