======================================================= EMC: Volume Logix operations ======================================================= :Title: EMC: Volume Logix operations :Author: Douglas O'Leary :Description: EMC: Volume Logix operations :Date created: 06/2001 :Date updated: 07/2005 :Disclaimer: Standard: Use the information that follows at your own risk. If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me... The order for getting fibre channel based hypervolume extentions (HVEs) viewable on systems, particularly SUN systems, is as follows: * Appropriately zone so the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) can see the EMC Fibre Adapter (FA). * Reboot the system so it can see the vcm database disk on the FA OR * SUN: * `` drvconfig -i sd; disks; devlinks`` (SunOS <= 5.7) * ``devfsadm -i sd`` (SunOS >= 5.7 (w/patches)) * HP: * ``ioscan -f`` # Note the new hw address * ``insf -e -H ${hw}`` * Execute ``vcmfind`` to ensure the system sees the Volume Logix database. * ID mapped informationi * Map HVEs to the FA if not already done. * ``symdev list -SA ${fa}`` to see what's mapped. * ``symdev show ${dev}`` to ID the lun that ${dev} is mapped as. The display should look something like:: Front Director Paths (4): { ---------------------------------------------------------------------- POWERPATH DIRECTOR PORT --------- ---------- -------- ------------ PdevName Type Num Type Num Sts VBUS TID LUN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Not Visible N/A 03A FA 0 RW 000 00 70 Not Visible N/A 14A FA 0 NR 000 00 70 Not Visible N/A 03B FA 0 NR 000 00 70 Not Visible N/A 14B FA 0 NR 000 00 70 } The number you're looking for is under the column LUN. Remember, it's HEX, so the lun that'll show up on the ctd is (0x70=112) c#t#d112 * On SUN systems, modify the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file so the system will see the new disks. You'll need to do a reconfig reboot after modifying this file. If the system doesn't see it on a reconfig reboot, this file is probably the culprit! * ``fpath adddev -w ${hba_wwn} -f ${fa} -r "${list_of_EMC_devs}"`` You can specify multiple EMC device ranges; just separate them by spaces, not commas * Reboot the system so it can see the new disks on the FA OR * SUN:: drvconfig -i sd; disks; devlinks (SunOS <= 5.7) devfsadm -i sd (SunOS >= 5.7 (w/patches)) * HP:: ioscan -f # Note the new hw address insf -e -H ${hw}
