Attaching SAN disk to Solaris 8
|
|
| michael.sternberg@gmail.com 2006-06-05, 7:15 am |
| Hello everybody.
I'm trying to attach a SAN storage to Solaris 8 V210 server using
Qlogic 2200 FC card. Already installed SUNWsan, SUNWqlc and SUNWqlcx
together with all patches it required. I can see adapter, port, disk
and LUNs via SANsurfer. But when I run "format" only local disks
appear.
Here's output of "cfgadm -al":
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured unknown
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
I suspect that I have problem with c2 entry. "cfgadm -c configure c2"
does not prints anything and does not changes above output. I already
had run "reboot -- -r" and "devfsadm" - did not changed anything..
Please help.

| If the lun was added before a reboot or -r you might need to do a luxadm -e

| Hi,
try using command devfsadm -C if not the check the entry in sd.conf
file in /etc folder .
It must contain the physical name and the target to which the LUN is
assigned to .
If you are using any failover software like powerpath,pvlinks or
Vertias DMP then check out for intiator type , every failover software
has different settings of intiator type depending upon the storage
hardware.
I think most probably the manual entry in sd.conf file should resolve
the issue.

"luxadm -e forcelip /wwn/path" returns "could not get physical path to
the device". Maybe I've entered the wrong path ? Where I'm taking path
from ? Tried both from output of "luxadm -e port" and from output of
"cfgadm -alv"

| performed "devfsadmin -C". performed "reboot -- -r". The disks did not
appeared in "format".
sd.conf located not in /etc but in /kernel/drv.
Each line there is of type:
name=3D"sd" class=3D"scsi" target=3D3 lun=3D0;
What parameters should I add ? My LUN is 0 (as seen from SANsurfer).
What target should I use ? I've added following line:
name=3D"sd" class=3D"scsi" target=3D2 lun=3D0 wwn=3D"210000E08B041286";
where wwn I've taken from "port name" of HBA from SANsurfer. Performed
"reboot -- -r". Did not appeared in "format" or in "cfgadm -al" output.

Are you sure? It looks to me like he's using Sun's SAN Foundation Kit
(SUNWsan), in which case explicit sd.conf entries are no longer necessary.

| What kind of SAN storage is it?
In case of EMC symmetrix, you need to add VCMDB entries. There are similar
masking entries for other storage boxes as well.
LUN 0 in case of symmetrix is usually the VCMDB itself, if you can see that,
it indicates that your zoning is correct, but you still need to mask the
devices.

| Thanks everybody. Using qla driver instead of qlc driver solved the
problem. What's interesting - at QLogic site they propose qlc (SUNs)
driver for that model..
