    Attaching SAN disk to Solaris 8

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.

Additional info, output of "luxadm -e port":
Found path to 2 HBA ports
Error: Invalid pathname -
/devices/pci@1d,700000/QLGC,qla@1/fp@0,0:devctl.
Error: Invalid pathname - /devices/pci@1d,700000/QLGC,qla@1/fp@0,0:fc.

If the lun was added before a reboot or -r you might need to do a luxadm -e
forcelip /wwn/path

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.
