Well, our systems guy is having trouble getting the storage configured
correctly on Powerpath for or new 11gR2 cluster.  His problem is getting the
storage to appear in the same position on both nodes, ie slice 1 needs to
show up as emcpowera on both nodes a and b, slice 2 as emcpowerb, etc, and
he is having trouble getting there.

Can anyone point us to a step-by-step guide for setting this up?  Normally I
get involved after this step, so I have no idea on how to do it.  I searched
MOS and didn't find anything.  Of course, that may just mean I didnt do the
exactly right search...

Note that afaik, asmlib is not available for Sun-sparc, so we cant work
around the problem by stamping the disks.  I have suggested that he contact
EMC support, but he I expect that will take a while.
